Is the better part o ver'
Are we d own to not quite s ayin' what we m ean'
And after thinkin' it o ver
Wouldn't you rather have the e ndin' nice and c lean
Where l ove re mains in a ll the c losing sc enes'
If the better part's o ver
W hy hang around
For an endin' that's laden with sorro w'
We've b oth been around
We've b oth seen that m ovie befo re
And as mu ch as I love you
I can't live while fearin' tomorrow
If the better part's over
Then w hy should we t ry anymo re'
Is the better part o ver'
Has the ragin' river t urned into a s tream'
Is the better part o ver'
Are we d own to not quite s ayin' what we m ean'
And after thinkin' it o ver
Wouldn't you rather have the e ndin' nice and c lean
Where l ove re mains in a ll the c losing s cenes'
