Better Days

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's just so inappro
 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 look closely at her eyes, a nice light shade of blue
 She was still in high school, I was one year removed
 We're both a little older from 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, I'mma be there for you
 But as things became more hectic in my life I started fadin' 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 fuckin' 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 cause you're the perfect melody
 I know the world ain't perfect but to me you were my everything
 My little light of sunshine I'm holdin' on for better days
 I pray for better days
 I know what has to happen I'm away
 I know in my life I've made mistakes
 But I'm holdin' on for better days
 I pray for better days
 I know what has to happen I'm away
 I know in my life I've made mistakes
 But I'm holdin' on for better days
 I wanna go back where we were sittin' at that ice cream shop
 I'm lookin' at you in your eyes I'm feelin' like my heart has stopped
 You laugh at me for gettin' soy peanut butter
 Back then I thought (shit, nah)
 I don't need no other person in my life and nothing else don't even matter to me
 Maybe I'm so numb that nothin' bad can 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 sleepin' in my half-apartment we don't have to watch the news
 I never felt more comfortable my face so close to you
 And I'mma break it down for you
 I think about you every day I sing about you every way cause you're the perfect melody
 I know the world ain't perfect but to me you were my everything
 My little light of sunshine I'm holdin' on for better days
 I pray for better days
 I know what has to happen I'm away
 I know in my life I've made mistakes
 But I'm holdin' on for better days
 I pray for better days
 I know what has to happen I'm away
 I know in my life I've made mistakes
 But I'm holdin' 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
 Examples that I have to look upon are probably not great
 Knowing you're in a similar position doesn't make it O.K.
 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 what has to happen I'm away
 I know in my life I've made mistakes
 But I'm holdin' on for better days
 I pray for better days
 I know what has to happen I'm away
 I know in my life I've made mistakes
 But I'm holdin' on for better days days days
 I pray for better days
 I know what has to happen I'm away
 I know in my life I've made mistakes
 But I'm holdin' on for better days
 The other day I was thinkin' like
 How come you never make a happy song you know what I'm saying?
 
 I just want you to know that I'm stuck in your soul
