about

I wrote my lyrics during FAWM 2019. Later I composed music to my lyrics. I’m grateful to Donna Devine for her valuable suggestions on my lyrics.

Thank you so much Dawn for your beautiful and very moving singing.

'Better This Way'
Lyrics and Music ©2019 Nadia Cripps

Intro
You asked how I was
I took a breath, then I paused

V1
See, I keep it a secret from everyone
Cause knowing what happened, you’d ask me why
And just the thought makes me want to run
Best if I give you my generic reply

Chorus
I'm okay, it's better this way
No use in telling the truth, and so
These are just lines I'll sing and play
The reality is nothing you need to know
Believe me, it’s better this way

V2
See, it's only me who's crying now
But if I opened up it would break your heart
And you’d only mirror the pain I feel
That’s the reason I don’t want to start

Chorus
I'm okay, it's better this way
No use to tell the truth, and so
These are just lines I'll sing and play
The reality is nothing you need to know
Believe me, it’s better this way

Bridge
Go on and lead a happy life, don't worry about me
You can't help what happened, so please let it be

Chorus
I'm okay, it's better this way
No use to tell the truth, and so
These are just lines I'll sing and play
The reality is nothing you need to know
Believe me, it’s better this way
