"Better Days" Lyrics

I just want you to know
That I'm stuck in your soul
Funny how last week I thought it couldn't be so
What I see in your eyes
Words can't come close
No matter what your father says
I just want you to know
That you're a beautiful person
And I want you to grow
The way he talks to you is just so inapro
I hope that you're strong
When he's doing you wrong
And I hope you find comfort in the words of these songs
Now sing along and while I tell you this story just listen closely
I know you like my music but look, you don't really know me
See I live outside the city where there's nothing going on
I just look around for meaning while I'm sitting on my lawn
One day I met this girl and she was beautiful too
I looked closely at her eyes this nice light shade of blue
She was still in high school
I was one year removed
We're both a little older for the things we've been through
Pretty soon I started seeing all the things he would do
She wasn't black and blue, but emotionally bruised
It made me so mad I didn't know what to do
Told her no matter what
Imma be there for you
But as things became more hectic in my life I started fading out
Began to lie to her
I wasn't fair to her
I hate it
Now I hope that you can understand my honesty
I really fucking wanna knock that dude out honestly
You don't have to believe it but I think about you every day
I sing about you every way
Cuz you're the perfect melody
I know the world ain't perfect
But to me you are my everything
My little light of sunshine
I'm holding on for better days

I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, Imma wait
I know in my life I made mistakes
But I'm holding on for better days
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, Imma wait
I know in my life I made mistakes
But I'm holding on for better days

I wanna go back when we were sitting at that ice cream shop
I'm looking at you in your eyes
I'm feeling like my heart has stopped
You laughed at me for getting soy peanut butter
Back then I thought shit nah, I don't need no other person in my life
For nothing else don't even matter
Maybe I'm so numb that nothing bad could ever happen to me
Maybe I'm so evil I attract all of these tragedies
Maybe we're so graceful we create all of these masterpieces
So facetious we would laugh about it
Nobody can reach us for a half an hour
Sleeping in my half apartment
We don't have to watch the news
I never felt more comfortable my face so close to you
And Imma break it down for you
I think about you every day
I sing about you every way
Cuz you're the perfect melody
I know the world ain't perfect
But to me you are my everything
My little light of sunshine
I'm holding on for better days

I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, Imma wait
I know in my life I made mistakes
But I'm holding on for better days
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, Imma wait
I know in my life I made mistakes
But I'm holding on for better days

What does it mean if I don't know what love feels like?
My parents got divorced when I was young so I just feel like
Exampled that I have to look upon are probably not great
Knowing you're in a similar position doesn't make it okay
I'm feeling like my goal is to make these blue skies turn grey
But in the blink of an eye it could go away
So even if it's just for ten minutes
I wanna drive around with you
And think about our life in the present
These are our better days

I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, Imma wait
I know in my life I made mistakes
But I'm holding on for better days
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, Imma wait
I know in my life I made mistakes
But I'm holding on for better days
I pray for better days
I know it has to happen, Imma wait
I know in my life I made mistakes
But I'm holding on for better days

The other day I was thinking like
How come you never make a happy song, you know what I'm saying?
