Backstory
There was a woman sitting in the corner at a baby’s first birthday party. She was visibly distraught over something.
Turns out she just broke up with her boyfriend. Breaking up always sucks. But maybe, sometimes, it’s for the better.
Lyrics
This isn’t her first heartbreak
She whispers to herself
This may be the last one I can take
How many times have I been here before
Is it really too much
To ask for just a little more
It starts off so well
How it is going to end
There’s just no way to tell
It starts off so well
If we can’t see the end
Maybe it’s just as well
Maybe it’s for the better
Maybe
Maybe it’s for the better
Maybe
This isn’t my first rodeo
He shouted to himself
As he walked out the door
How many times have I been here before
Is it really too much to ask for
more and more and more and more
And maybe just a little more
It starts off so well
How it’s gonna end
There’s just no way to tell
It starts off so well
And if it’s gotta end
Maybe it’s just as well
Maybe it’s for the better
Maybe
Maybe it’s for the better
Maybe
Not in the mood to try to find
Any kind of bright side
It’s a strange comfort to feel like
I can’t do anything right
Don’t try to cheer me up
with some silly notion
About how maybe it’s for the better
When I’m feeling such emotions
It starts off so well
Is it just an
Early reservation
At the local heartbreak hotel
It starts off so well
This time I gotta believe
Things‘ll turn out
Just as well
Things are gonna get better
Maybe
Maybe
You‘ll see
