I’ve been exactly where you’re standing And I didn’t like the view. I couldn’t see the forest for the trees. And now I’m done And I can wish you luck …better you than me. The moments that were magical Were truly beautiful But that doesn’t mean the juice was worth the squeeze. And now that trip Is yours to take so Better you than me. It doesn’t mean I wish you pain or heartache And maybe you will choose a different path And maybe when the dust has settled The sky won’t look so black. But given what I’ve seen my friend I just want you to know… The best of efforts may not change your speed… I’m watching from a distance And I’m glad I’m finally free So now I’m saying Better you than me. (Solo) Better you than me Better to be free From chasing after misery Better you than me. “Best not at all” I’d say But since you chose to fall this way I tell you: been there: not for me. Better to be free. I don’t expect you’ll listen So It’s best to let it be. I’ll simply shake your hand and say It’s better you than me.
