Better Place Lyrics
[Intro]
Nowhere
Maybe I'll try, oh
[Verse 1]
I know
I know you've never seen this side of me before
You know I won't get far if I don't let you go
I'm all alone, nobody else
I need some help, might lose myself
I think I'm losin' control
I've never felt and you can tell
Mind on the shelf, bad for my health
Can't tell what's real anymore
[Chorus]
Just another pretty face
I won't make the same mistake
One more high just might be all it takes
Just to get me to a better place
[Verse 2]
The bad times go 'round and 'round, the hope dies
She's in my life again, stuck in my mind again
She's worried I'm high again, gambling my life again
All that I want's a friend, don't like to play pretend
To be or not to be, I'd rather never be
You say, "I'd do whatever that you would ask of me"
So say that you love me, say that you love me
Say that you love me, say that you love me
Nowhere
Maybe I'll try, oh
[Verse 1]
I know
I know you've never seen this side of me before
You know I won't get far if I don't let you go
I'm all alone, nobody else
I need some help, might lose myself
I think I'm losin' control
I've never felt and you can tell
Mind on the shelf, bad for my health
Can't tell what's real anymore
[Chorus]
Just another pretty face
I won't make the same mistake
One more high just might be all it takes
Just to get me to a better place
[Verse 2]
The bad times go 'round and 'round, the hope dies
She's in my life again, stuck in my mind again
She's worried I'm high again, gambling my life again
All that I want's a friend, don't like to play pretend
To be or not to be, I'd rather never be
You say, "I'd do whatever that you would ask of me"
So say that you love me, say that you love me
Say that you love me, say that you love me
[Bridge]
It's hard to love
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it's hard
To let go of someone
It hurts worse than you ever could ever imagine
(You know why)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Just another pretty face
I won't make the same mistake
One more high just might be all it takes
Just to get me to a better place
Just another pretty face
I won't make the same mistake
One more high just might be all it takes
Just to get me to a better place
It's hard to love
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it's hard
To let go of someone
It hurts worse than you ever could ever imagine
(You know why)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Just another pretty face
I won't make the same mistake
One more high just might be all it takes
Just to get me to a better place
Just another pretty face
I won't make the same mistake
One more high just might be all it takes
Just to get me to a better place
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Better Place tells how Weiland has this girl stuck in his mind and how no one’s ever seen this side of him before. Just like a lot of songs on Vices, some of the lyrics are very dark.
