[Verse 1] |
|
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 |
|
[Hook] |
|
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 |

[Verse 2] |
|
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 |
|
[Hook] |
|
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 |

[Verse 3] |
|
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 |
|
[Hook] |
|
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 |
|
X2 |
|
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 |
|
[Outro] |
|
The other day I was thinkin' like |
|
How come you never make a happy song you know what I'm saying? |
