Annie Cole - Better this way Lyrics

Your coat still hangs by the kitchen door
The clock ticks louder than it did before
The street's quiet, like it's holding its breath
Waiting for what comes after you left
The radio plays our favorite song
But now it feels like something's wrong
The same old tune, but the words don't fit
I'm here alone, and I'm fine with it
I'll pick up the pieces, one by one
Maybe not today, but when it's done
I'll laugh at the way we fell apart
Moving on, with a mended heart
The sun will rise, the dark will fade
I'm still standing, unafraid
'Cause I love this life
'Cause I love this life
You'd fold the paper with a casual flair
Always leaving a story in the air
The smell of coffee, the quiet grin
Like you always knew where to begin
We tried to make it work, no doubt
But some fires just burn out
We had a spark, but it didn't stay
And that's alright, we're better this way
I'll pick up the pieces, one by one
Maybe not today, but when it's done
I'll laugh at the way we fell apart
Moving on, with a mended heart
The sun will rise, the dark will fade
I'm still standing, unafraid
'Cause I love this life
'Cause I love this life
Go chase your dreams, I'll chase mine too
We both know it's time for something new
I'll pick up the pieces, one by one
Maybe not today, but when it's done
I'll laugh at the way we fell apart
Moving on, with a mended heart
The sun will rise, the dark will fade
I'm still standing, unafraid
'Cause I love this life
Go chase your dreams, I'll chase mine too
We both know it's time for something new
'Cause I love this life
