Song lyrics
I never knew perfection til
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
Just to hear you say the simple things
Now waking up is hard to do
And sleeping is impossible too
Everything is reminding me of you
What can I do?

It’s not right, not ok
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break…

A fool to let you slip away
I chase you just to hear you say
You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane

The city look so nice from here
Pity I can’t see it clearly
While you’re standing there, it disappears
It disappears

It’s not right, not ok
Say the word it should say
Maybe we’re better off this way?
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break

Saw you sitting all alone
You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right
Life these days is getting rough
They’ve knocked you down and beat you up
But it’s just a rollercoaster anyway, yeah

It’s not right, not ok
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?

I’m not fine, not ok
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?

I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break, baby

Easily one of my favorites off the new album. It caught me on my first listen through and I've been hooked since.

His voice goes so well when the piano in this one.

Can't say the lyrics are my favorite - they aren't bad by any means - but I don't think they are anything groundbreaking either.

10/10 for the overall song though.

is he supposed to be crying or is the city just not clear because she's there?

if it's because of the tears, then that's better. if not, oh well.

anyway, yeah. this song stuck out very, very quickly for me too.

i've had the album on my computer since january 26th, 2008 and it already has 104 plays. anyway, it's only second played behind can't stop which is simply infectious.

"you're fragile AND you're cold...but that's ALRIGHT."♥♥

Amazingly involving.
I had too the feeling of surroundings disappearing once the one I was interested in showed up at any stage of the day.
It's amazing when you find a description in a song that so completely you can relate with.
The entire song is beautiful: all arrangements and bits of singing are so hitting the spot of the overall melancholic feeling it makes me feel full empathy with.

I adore it lyrically. My... it's so poetic when you just read it, even before listening to it. Every sound is so well put in, hinting, descriptive, it gives tons of suggestions about life and mood and vibe.
I can't get enough of this song. It's like reading a book.

How can you get he's into music... he tips things and people to be good by the way they "sound"... awww, love that. It's so intimate and psychological.
The song is a lil treasure.
Sad, and so sweet at the same time.
Amazing beats.
