The Other Side

Bruno Mars

Truth of the matter is I'm complicated

You're as straight as they come

You go 'bout your day baby

While I hide from the sun

It's better if you don't understand

Cause you won't know what it's like

Until you try

[Chorus:]

You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side

And you, all you gotta do is cross the line

I could wait a whole lifetime

But you just gotta decide

You know I

I'll be waiting on the other, waiting on the other side

We would live forever

Who could ask for more

You could die if you wanted

But baby what for

It's better if you don't understand

And you won't know what it's like

Until you try

[Chorus]

If they say life's a dream

Call this insomnia

Cause this ain't Wonderland

It damn sure ain't Narnia

And once you cross the line

You can't change your mind

Yeah I'm a monster

But I'm no Frankenstein

And quite frankly

I've been feeling insane in between my eyes

I really can't explain what I feel inside

If you knew what I was you's would run and hide

Many have tried to go into the night

Cross over the line and come back alive

But that's the price we payin' when we living on the other side

[Chorus]

It's better if you don't understand

It's better if you don't understand

It's better if you don't understand

It's better if you don't understand

It's better if you don't understand

It's better if you don't understand
