1. Anything is Better Than That – Everybody has been burned at one time or another. It is understandable for you to put your guard up and watch your back to avoid future emotional harm. But, be wary of becoming too paranoid or you may wind up missing out on finding a great friend, a new love, or worse yet driving away the ones you love.
lyrics
Anything Is Better Than That
Well I asked you many questions and you told me where to find
All the good things that we can have if we dare to close our minds
To the hatred that surrounds us or to anyone who we despise
‘Cause anything is better than that
Lost and lonely and without a home
No particular place to roam
Do me a favor and throw this dog a bone
Won’t you tell me that you’re gonna welcome me back?
If you go the extra mile will you walk away?
Or will you stop, think about it, and decide to stay?
If I thought it’d make it better well I’d walk away
From you, but anything is better than that
Well I understand your problem and I’d like to sympathize
But it cannot be forgotten that I will not compromise
With the hatred that surrounds me or with anyone who I despise
‘Cause anything is better than that
Seeking comfort, shelter from the storm
And a safe place to keep my heart warm
Shake this feeling that I wish I’d never been born
Won’t you say anything is better than that?
If you go the extra mile will you walk away?
Or will you stop, think about it, and decide to stay?
If I thought it’d make it better well I’d walk away
From you, but anything is better than that
