Better By Far - Long John Baldry

Better by far

To turn and go away with him

And stay with him

And let him know the things

I can never know

The way things are

Yes it’s, better by far

To tell myself it’s been worthwhile

And try to smile

And let me turn the key

And lock away, this aching heart

Better by far

To turn and say

Let’s end this way

With no regrets

Better by far

To end it now

Pretend somehow

We never met

While things are the way they are

It’s better by far

Try as I may

To make believe my heart was wrong

The flame burns on

Then while we say goodbye

I’ll hold my head up high

Just till you’re gone

Better by far

To turn and say

Let’s end this way

With no regrets

Better by far

To end it now

Pretend somehow

We never met

While things are the way they are

It’s better by far
