better this way

Remember when you called me late in the day You said to come over, you needed me there I left without question, I dropped all commitments I came to you and took you in my arms You said I looked lovely, I asked why are you crying You said you were hurting, you swore you were trying I looked in your eyes, I saw all of your pain God, I wish I could wash it away We wanted a cottage in a field filled with flowers We′d watch the clouds go by And I'd do the dishes and I′d watch you grow Until one day, you're ready to go I'd wait by your side, help you with your struggles I′d win the race if it meant jumping over hurdles I′ll hold onto high hopes, 'til my fingers bleed But you know how to run, oh, you know how to run Yes, you know how to run So run to me baby, I′m waiting right here With open arms and open ears I'll hear what′s been hurting and ask you to stay You would leave me and say It's better this way You′d leave and say It's better this way But I don't think it′s better this way I don′t think it's better this way
