Better For You Lyrics
My decision can not be put off again
I see the right choice but my heart is filled with dread
It all seems backwards in my head, my head
I know it seems too wrong to be right
This way is so much harder to fight
But in the end I know it is true
This way is better, it's better for you
Choose a little pain and gain a life with joy
Accepting pleasure now will earn a life of pain
It all seems backwards in my head, my head
I know it seems too wrong to be right
This way is so much harder to fight
But in the end I know it is true
This way is better
It's better for you, for you
Sometimes I wonder why it's this way
When it's done the burden is gone
This discomfort will be taken away
As soon as it's over, it's over for me
I know it seems too wrong to be right
This way is so much harder to fight
But in the end I know it is true
This way is better
It's better for you, for you
I see the right choice but my heart is filled with dread
It all seems backwards in my head, my head
This way is so much harder to fight
But in the end I know it is true
This way is better, it's better for you
Accepting pleasure now will earn a life of pain
It all seems backwards in my head, my head
This way is so much harder to fight
But in the end I know it is true
This way is better
It's better for you, for you
When it's done the burden is gone
This discomfort will be taken away
As soon as it's over, it's over for me
This way is so much harder to fight
But in the end I know it is true
This way is better
It's better for you, for you

Well, the main idea of this is pretty plainly stated, "choose a little pain and gain a life with joy/ accepting pleasure now will earn a life of pain..." On a basic level, being a Christian isn't always easy, but better to suffer a little now than to suffer eternally later. The narrator is confused, because it always seems like the bad guy wins and the good guy gets knocked down, but in the end it's better for us to suffer because it brings us closer to God.
Wow, I love this song! I've just got Sea of Faces and it's one of the best ones on the album! I agree with cycle.of.ashes. Shouldn't it be You not you?
the lyrics are correct when they say you the song talks to people not God they whole point of the song it to tell ppl that living the christian lifestyle is better for them in the long run

I know the song doesn't specifically refer to relationships, but for me it does. Its like someone has to make the difficult decision in the relationship and they both know it will hurt now, but will be better for them in the long run. Just my thought. Great song no matter what.
i have to agree with cycle.of.ashes.
"My decision can not be put off again I see the right choice but my heart is filled with dread"
"Choose a little pain and gain a life with joy Accepting pleasure now will earn a life of pain"
those parts really stood out to me in the song pretty self explanatory
