[intro]
mmm mmm better days, better days
[Verse 1]
I be havin lucid dreams
And then I fade away
Eyes open, same old fear
Still I'm here to stay
Wonder if it's a sign
Like you better stay away
Devil on my back tonight
I can hear him say
I pray with my hands up
On the edge of the bed
Heavy in my chest now
Like a word unsaid
[Pre-Chorus]
If the dark want me
It can take the night
I been bent too long
Now I'm reaching for the light
Give me one more breath
Give me one more try
I don't want the smoke
I just want to survive
[Chorus]
Give us some better days
Give us some better days
All we want is better days
All we want is better days
Better days, better days
Wash this weight away
Better days, better days
Make the hurt go away
[Verse 2]
Mama said keep moving
Even when you fall
Even when your shadow
Looks too big on the wall
I done lost some pieces
Still I keep my name
Every scar I carry
Means I made it through the flame
So if you see me slipping
Don't let go too fast
I'm still fighting for the future
I can feel it in the glass
[Pre-Chorus]
If the dark want me
It can take the night
I been bent too long
Now I'm reaching for the light
Give me one more breath
Give me one more try
I don't want the smoke
I just want to survive
[Chorus]
Give us some better days
Give us some better days
All we want is better days
All we want is better days
Better days, better days
Wash this weight away
Better days, better days
Make the hurt go away
[Bridge]
I seen the bottom
I know its shape
I held my own heart
When it was hard to keep
If I keep walking
Till the pain lets go
Maybe tomorrow
Gonna finally show
[Final Chorus]
Give us some better days
Give us some better days
All we want is better days
All we want is better days
Better days, better days
Wash this weight away
Better days, better days
All we want is better days
