The winter here's cold and bitter
It's chilled us to the bone
We haven't seen the sun for weeks
Too long, too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
And I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh, darkness I feel like letting go
If all of the strength and all of the courage
Come and lift me from this place
I know I can love you much better than this
Full of grace
Full of grace
My love
It's better this way, I said
Haven't seen this place before
Where everything we say and do
Hurts us all the more
It's just that we stayed too long
In the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh, darkness I feel like letting go
If all of the strength and all of the courage
Come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
Full of grace
I know I could love you much better than this
It's better this way
It's chilled us to the bone
We haven't seen the sun for weeks
Too long, too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
And I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh, darkness I feel like letting go
If all of the strength and all of the courage
Come and lift me from this place
I know I can love you much better than this
Full of grace
Full of grace
My love
It's better this way, I said
Haven't seen this place before
Where everything we say and do
Hurts us all the more
It's just that we stayed too long
In the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh, darkness I feel like letting go
If all of the strength and all of the courage
Come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
Full of grace
I know I could love you much better than this
It's better this way

This song is probably my favourite song ever. I first heard it on Buffy as well and bought the CD the next day. It's beautiful. I agree with "miss mo" that it's about someone who's experiencing depression which they have to deal with on their own and they have to leave because they've "stayed too long" already and they're only hurting each other. I personally feel that despite being an incredibly depressing song, it's lined with hope. The fact that she knows she could love them more or better suggests she's willing to try but needs to sort herself out first. For the record, I want this song played at my funeral.
