Lyrics

Better That Way
(Lamoureux/Macpherson)

I got your letter decorated with yeloow roses
You bought me rollerblades
They were sent to my work along with a raise

I'm just your modern day mystery
I had to run out in a hurry

We didn't date for long
Ah, what can I say
It's better that way

I've known you for so long
Too bad I can't stay
I hope you're ok

We had so much fun
Official one time apart another
But my heart got broken
The young and the wild can get out of hand

I'm sorry about our history
Hope sometime you bump into me

We didn't date for long
Ah, what can I say
It's better that way

I've known you for so long
Too bad I can't stay
I hope you're ok

I hope someday I'll get to meet your family
You're all grown up now
You handle well priority

I'm just your modern day mystery
I had to run out in a hurry

We didn't date for long
Ah, what can I say
It's better that way

I've known you for so long
Too bad I can't stay
I hope you're ok

We didn't date for long
Ah, what can I say
It's better that way

I've known you for so long
Too bad I can't stay
I hope you're ok
