[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 [X2]
[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 [X2]
[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?Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
