Better Days
Fia Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's five in the morning
The walls keep talking
Telling me
That you better stop dreaming
The rain keeps falling
But fuck it, I'm all in
You're what I need
To keep me believing

Some days I feel like giving up
Oh, I need somebody to stop
I need somebody to stop
These feelings
I don't know which way is up
All that I want is to know
Tell me, tell me

Tell me there'll be better days (better days, better days)
Tell me there'll be better days (better days, better days)
Sometimes I wanna run away (run away, run away)
Tell me there'll be better days (better days, better days)
Tell me there'll be better, better
Tell me there'll be better, better days
Sometimes I wanna run away (run away, run away)
Tell me there'll be better, better days (better days, better days)

All I hear is an echo
Of the doubt I can't let go
Telling me
That you better stop dreaming
There's no tomorrow
The moment is borrowed
You're what I need
To keep me believing

Some days I feel like giving up
Oh, I need somebody to stop
I need somebody to stop
These feelings
I don't know which way is up
All that I want is to know
Tell me, tell me

Tell me there'll be better, better (better days, better days)
Tell me there'll be better, better (better days, better days)
Sometimes I wanna run away (run away, run away)
Tell me there'll be better, better (better days, better days)

Why does life feel like a bridge that goes nowhere?
I don't believe in God but tonight I'll say a prayer
And I'll say

Tell me there'll be better days
Tell me there'll be better days
Sometimes I wanna run away
Tell me there'll be better days
Tell me, tell me

Tell me there'll be better, better (better days, better days)
Tell me there'll be better, better (better days, better days)
Sometimes I wanna run away (run away, run away)
Tell me there'll be better, better (better days, better days)

You're what I need
Better, better (to keep me believing)
You're what I need (to keep me believing)
Better, better days (to keep me believing)
You're what I need (to keep me believing)
To keep me believing
You're what I need (to keep me believing)
Better, better days (to keep me believing)
You're what I need (to keep me believing)
To keep me believing (you're what I need)




To keep me believing
To keep me believing
