Better in Time

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice
you mean everything
Quickly I'm learnin'
To love again
All I know is
I'm gon' be ok

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something that'd remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming
Don't wanna let that hurt my feelings
But that's the path I've been living
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go so I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

[Chorus: X2]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time



Lovely song; but such emotional lyrics.
I love listening to this song; and you could feel the strong passion in the person.

A post-breakup song and how she pulls herself together to be in one piece.
It's not easy of course, and I love the way how it was so realistically depicted on how tough it is getting over a relationship and to be used to being one instead of a couple.
It was so realistic that it hurts and you could feel the pain; that she has to deal with the fact that the break up is a reality and that she no longer has him in her life.
It is painful; and she knows she really loves him which makes it all harder to accept that she has to deal with it.

At the same time, it further went on that she knows she has to get on with life and she must be brave enough to go through.
She deserves it for herself, and time will heal....even though it will hurt, but she will definitely get better in time.
Things will be okay one day, and she will learn to love again....everything will be better in time

Truly beautiful and so painfully realistic and close to our life.
Leona Lewis was truly amazing with her vocals; and you could hear the emotion and pain she portrayed in the song (whether she really broke up or not, but this was good)

Is this only relevant only to us ladies?
Only women feel so painful and hurt when facing a break up?
I don't think so, although Leona was trying to describe from our point (after all, Leona is a woman), but frankly, I think it pretty much describes how anyone would feel post breakup.

It is always not easy to deal with the end of something beautiful; and that's what relationships are all about.
They start off beautiful; with blossoming and budding love between two individuals. Two people who are so eager to be together and to experience and savor sweet moments.
Of course, there are a majority of relationships which will end in happy endings; but how about those which turned ugly?
And those which had to be ended on a sudden note; even though one party is probably reluctant?

That's when the pain and hurt comes in and this, regardless whether you are a guy or a gal; you will still feel it.
Perhaps guy would hide their tears; but they are human beings as well, if they truly loved a woman, I think even a guy would shed his tears when he lost her, and he knows it's for forever.

I have once heard a saying, Love can be so healing to the soul but yet it can hurt so much too.
Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurts?
That is probably the first question you should even ask yourself, how deeply in love are you with him/her?
Love is not supposed to be all pretty and miraculous, it takes effort and courage to work out miracles.
That being said, it doesn't mean that you need to sacrifice and cut yourself to experience love.

To truly love someone, you will experience hurt when you love them.

You will worry when he/she's not well
You feel the pain when you see him/her in pain
You cry when he/she cry
You smile in relief when you finally see that smile on their face
You pray for them when you know they are troubled
You wish you were the one in their place when they are in danger/hurt/hospitalized
You are anxious when you see them stressed/nervous/worried and you can't do anything
You feel helpless when they are lying in bed and you know you are incapable of saving them

You see that smile on their face even when they are far away
At any time of the day, their face appears on your mind
No matter how angry/disappointed/depressed you are at the world, the minute you see them, all your worries go away
A smile from them erases all your unhappiness
All that matters to you is that person in your mind
Your biggest worry is seeing them unhappy and you can't do anything (you may be able to solve all sorts of problems at work)

That is love, that is when you are truly, deeply and madly in love with someone
So when this person matters so much to you, how could you bear to be apart from them?
Away from them?
No matter how much you know you need to be away from him
You still couldn't bear it

That's why love knows no boundaries
You could fall in love with a criminal, an international fugitive, a drug pusher, a guy who is truly bad out there and disapproved by your parents and you know, you have to leave him
But when you are truly in love, can you bring yourself to do it?
You HAD to, you know you'll be free and better off without him (as described in the song as well), but can you truly put it all behind?

It's gonna hurt more than you'll ever know, it's not going to be easy, but it has to be done
And once you have made the decision (break up), you have to learn to deal with it
Don't look back, no matter how bad it makes you squirm inside
You probably will cry buckets, even suicidal because the thought of living without him is unbearable
But once you have decided, you know better than yourself, that someday, that day will come when everything becomes history and you could finally hold your head up high

Same goes when you were the one dumped by him
Are you going to kneel, beg and cry, pleading with a guy who has decided to live without you?
He has decided; he doesn't love you anymore, do you want to use your love to convince him?
Worse still, if he has had a change of heart, is there a point to make him stay?

It hurts because you LOVE him very much; even though he doesn't anymore
For some reason or another, he has forgotten all about your love and all those sweet times you've had together
Is it worth your time and pride to beg him to stay anymore?

Gal, just move on
Cry if you have to
But tell yourself, you're worth more than that jerk
And that someday's gonna come
You have your dignity
Smile confidently in front of him
even though it hurts so deeply inside
that you are crying so hard
But you have to
Tell yourself, it is HIS mistake for not seeing you
Seeing the true and beautiful person you are
it is HIS loss, not yours
And that you are worth more than he thinks you are
you are going to appreciate the life you are given
And that God is always there for you

It will take some time
Time will be the key to heal your broken heart
And we all know that time is the essence
We will definitely get better in time
It's going to be fine
It's going to be okay

One day, just someday, we will hold our head up high and with our dignity, say that we are the best in the world
I am OKAY now
I am FINE without HIM

It will, it definitely will, just trust me, be BETTER in TIME......
