Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe if I catch my breath
Maybe if I wait a little
I'd remember how it hurts and stop before I fall
I'd forget to come apart
I'd catch myself and hold on tightly
Let memory wash over me, forgive but don't forget
[PreChorus]
So you come back to me begging
"Why'd you leave? Tell me why, how could you let this go?"
[Chorus]
Let it be all it is
Small and still, a memory like a stone
A jagged edge made smooth by time
Let it be all it is
Small and still and better left alone
[Chorus]
Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken
[Verse 2]
Illusions come, the venom stings
Swirling visions, soft and perfect
They blur all the edges till everything looks fine
So I'll pretend I didn't cry
And you pretend that you're my savior
We both remember what we want to get us through the night
[PreChorus]
So don't come back to me begging
"Why'd you leave? Tell me why, how could you let this go?"
[Chorus]
Let it be all it is
Small and still, a memory like a stone
A jagged edge made smooth by time
Let it be all it is
Small and still and better left alone
[Chorus]
Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken
[Chorus]
Let it be all it is
Small and still, a memory like a stone
A jagged edge made smooth by time
Let it be all it is
Small and still and better left alone
[Outro]
Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken
Some things are better broken
