Lyrics
Better Days
It's been so long since I held you tight.
Been so long since we kissed goodnight.
How did we lose what we had?
How did things get so bad?
The sun still shines on your face.
And your eyes, They never change.
A vision I can't escape,
Oh, why did you leave without a trace?
We all need better days
Yeah, We all need better days.
Let's throw those tears and fears away,
Soon there'll be better days.
It's been so long since I held your hand.
Now baby, I just don't understand.
Too many nights alone, hand on the telephone.
It's just too hard being on my own.
We all need better days
Yeah, We all need better days.
Let's throw those tears and fears away,
Soon there'll be better days.
Memories flow in time.
I still see you in my mind.
A vision I can't escape,
Oh, why did you leave without a trace?
We all need better days
Yeah, We all need better days.
Let's throw those tears and fears away,
Soon there'll be better days
