Better Days
Chantelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waiting for those better days
I said I'm waiting for those better days
I've been going round
Tryna find the point of existing
The worlds a mess
And everybody else in their feelings
Keeping it real, struggling a bit
Cant seem to balance my innocence
Sometimes its just easier to quit
And sometimes I don't think that I will make it
And sometimes I just wanna call it quits
But I wont, no I wont
I just need this sad moment
For the while
I'll drink myself into the morning
So that I
Can numb myself and time moves forward
All of the people that have done me wrong
I don't wanna think about
I just wanna zone out
And let the world pass me by
I said I'm waiting for those better days
Tryna find my inner strengths
Oh lately I just feel so tired
I can barely sleep at night
Oh yeah I'm waiting for those better days
Cus I just wanna feel okay
Oh for the while
I'll drink myself into the morning
I'm tryna manifest
But sometimes, it don't feel like it's working
Losing people, left and right
Everyones starting to feel different
Still loving hard, working through
I cant forget to be grateful too
But sometimes its just easier to quit
And sometimes I dont think that I will make it
And sometimes I just wanna call it quits
But I wont, no I wont
i just need this sad moment
Oh for the while
I'll drink myself into the morning
So that I
Can numb myself and time moves forward
All of the people that have done me wrong
I don't wanna think about
I just wanna zone out
And let the world pass me by
I said I'm waiting for those better days
Tryna find my inner strengths
Oh lately I just feel so tired
I can barely sleep at night
Oh yeah I'm waiting for those better days
Cus I just wanna feel okay




Oh for the while
I'll drink myself into the morning
