Sycamore Smith - A Better Place, A Better Time lyrics

And so she wakes up In time to break down She left a note upon the dresser And she's right on time You don't know anything Right or wrong I say I know And she says so I want to panic But I've had it So I go (You don't owe anything to anyone) So don't take your life Because it's all that you've got You'd be better off just up and leaving If you don't think they will stop And when you wake up Everything is going to be fine I guarantee that you wake in a better place And in a better time So you're tired of living And you feel like you might give in Well don't It's not your time Flipping through the paper today Looking for a specific page Don't want to find her full name followed by dates Because when I left her alone She made a sound, like a moan “You're known by everyone for everything you've done” f** buying flowers for graves I'd rather buy you a one way non-stop To anywhere Find anyone Do anything Forget and start again, love She said she won't go And that's that It hurts too much to stand by You've got to stop and draw a line And everyone here has to choose a side tonight The moment of truth is haunting you Don't forget your family Regardless of what you choose to do You can't decide And they're all screaming “Why won't you?” I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you I'll draw the bath and I'll load your gun But I hope so hard that you bathe and hunt Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow Annie says “The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me” Annie says “If everyone has someone else, then I ain't got nobody's love to save me” Annie says “I think I'll pa** away tonight, because it seems I'll never get it right if it's just me” And when you wake up Everything is going to be fine I guarantee that you wake in a better place And in a better time So you're tired of living And you feel like you might give in Well don't It's not your time Annie says she wouldn't mind if the never found a cure for all her problems Annie says as long as she has someone near to make it clear she does not need to solve them “Oh, this loneliness is k**ing me It's filling me with anger and resentment I'm turning into someone that I never thought I'd have to be again” And when you wake up Everything is going to be fine I guarantee that you wake in a better place And in a better time So you're tired of living And you feel like you might give in Well don't It's not your time Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow Annie says “The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me” Annie says “If everyone has someone else, then I ain't got nobody's love to save me” Annie says “I think I'll pa** away tonight, because it seems I'll never get it right if it's just me” And when you wake up Everything is going to be fine I guarantee that you wake in a better place And in a better time So you're tired of living And you feel like you might give in Well don't It's not your time And even if it was I wouldn't let you go You could run run run run but I will follow close Someday you will say “That's it, that's all” But I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall I know that you think that you're on your own But I just know that I'm here And I'll lead you home If you let me She said “Forget me” But I can't
