Lyrics: Marcio Novelli. The Overture. Better.


I tried to be the perfect friend
And I learned perfection is a flaw
So I take back every word I said

I wish for every time I went out of my way
To say or do something to help you feel okay
You?ll lay awake a thousand nights
Regretting everything you didn?t try
To make me feel better

Chorus:
And, now, I?m gone
And I?m not ever coming back
Just keep moving on
I have never been better

You tried to put me on the shelf
To take me down when it best suited you
But, now, I?m gone, expired?
You left me here to rot
Bacteria has turned me sour
And now you?ll never find better

Chorus

And, I know your soul is holding onto me
And, I know your soul is holding, haunting me

Chorus
