For the Better

So it ends the same way it always does and
I'm left alone with a broken heart
And It's not fair I've walked alone too many times
I can't take the silence anymore

To end this way
A promise made
Despite myself
I wish you'd stayed

So run away
It's all the same
You cast a spell to get her
Another day
So far away
You'll see that it's for the better

And I can't fix you
And I can't fix you now

You act as if this is all my fault
And I can't believe you think I'd forgot that
You lied, spied and tried to take me for a fool
Now I see you for what you truly are

It ends with me
I couldn't see
Despite the signs
I still believed

So run away
It's all the same
You cast a spell to get her
Another day
So far away
You'll see that it's for the better

(You'll see that it's for the better)
(You'll see that it's for the better)
(You promised me)

Countless years have passed
Were we ever meant to last
Scrub the writing from the wall
Did we stand a chance at all

Now the night fades into day
We'll be better off this way
In spite of all the things I said
I still wish that you had stayed

You are the smiling dark
The shadows lonely spark
Warm words whispered to me
Like blades they cut my heart
But I am open flame
I cannot be contained
No dark is deep enough
That flame can't wash away
(Oh!)

To end this way
A promise made
Despite myself
I wish you'd stayed
