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
