Song Description
A slow-paced song inspired by the humanity and fragility in everyday-life moments, when failure can be seen as having a relative sense: not the opposite of success but rather a vital ingredient in achieving it. A minimalist, ethereal piano arrangement carries the song throughout, whilst strings, synth sounds and vocal harmonies instigate the crescendo. The ending simply reaffirms the wonders of being supported by someone in the struggle.

Lyrics
I'm teasing your heart with glimpses of art
Too old for explanations
My mind's afraid to restart, there's still time to depart
From all its reservations
I'm waving goodbye to Lucy in the sky
I wish I'd used your advice
Cos I realise she's full of real lies
Behind her not-so-real eyes
And I fail, I fail again but I fail better
I fail better every time
Yes, I fail, I fail again but I fail better
And I'll prove them wrong this time
Memories last, memories lost
Memories first and foremost
And I'm free at last from the glorious past
That haunts my dreams like a ghost
And I fail, I fail again but I fail better
I fail better every time
And I fail, I fail again but I fail better
And I'll prove them wrong this time
And I fail, I fail again but I fail better
I fail better every time
(And so I fail) And I fail, I fail again but I fail better
(Fail) So let's prove them wrong this time
(And so I fail) And I fail, I fail again but I fail better
(Fail) I fail better all the time
(And so I fail) And so I fail, I fail again but I fail better
(Fail) Better when you're on my side
