lyrics

Better out than in
Better you than me
Better or for worse
I think you’d better take a seat
There’s nothing better
Than the taste of bittersweet

Better to burn out
Better to be feared
Better to have loved and lost
Better be a hero
Yeah nothing’s better
Than the bottom dear

Better learn your lesson
Better play it cool
Better test the waters
Better admit you’re a fool
Better off without it
But that doesn’t make an empty bottle full

Better beg forgiveness
Better make amends
Better be the better person
Better off as friends
There’s nothing better than a battle when it ends
