Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
feel the pain in your chest
i know you feel so depressed
oh, better days on the way
so they say it's just a phase
holding out for better days, days, days
these days everybody seeming like a super villain
i just wanna go outside
i want everything to be alright
days all blurred cause i lost contact
miss my friends, i wish we could go back
to that fresh air sunshine, peace of mind
to a better time and a better life
ooo
we can let it all go, i swear
we can move it forward, i swear
i swear - better days are ahead
there's always something to live for
just open your heart
i get emotional too
but i know that we've still got work to do
better days are on the way
better days are on the way
better days are on the way
no crying, i'm just looking for my better days
no crying, now i'm looking for my better days
head up and i'm just looking for my better days

I don't usually leave comments but I feel like I kinda have to, out of gratitude for your music. Your songs brought some much-needed clarity, they let me see a bit clearer and helped me to understand myself, and for that, I am forever thankful to you, because your music truly did make a difference in my mindset and perspective and for that, I am very grateful to you :) Above all else, you showed me and so many others that we are never alone and we don't have to suffer just because depression wants us too. Thank you for everything I can see you put everything you have into your music and I will always be here to listen to it.
