Brighter Days
Keating Ronan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've done a lot of living in my life
Chased my share of rainbows in the sky
Before I stopped to ask the question why
I've fallen out of love too many times

But now I see
The possibilities
Of how my life could be

[Chorus]
From any other love I'd walked away
Love is temporary I would say
Now each night I find a reason to stay
With you there's always brighter days

I've broken a heart, a heart or two
I've let the curtain fall I guess, it's true
The thought of something borrowed,
Something blue
Was something that I never could pursue

But now you're here
My doubt has disappeared
The clouds are gone, it's clear

[Chorus]

Even on the coldest nights
Even when the sun won't shine
It's sweeter in the morning time
Just knowing that you're there





[Chorus]

I've done a lot of living in my life
Chased my share of rainbows in the sky
Before I stopped to ask the question why
I've fallen out of love too many times

But now I see
The possibilities
Of how my life could be

From any other love I'd walked away
Love is temporary I would say
Now each night I find a reason to stay
With you there's always brighter days

I've broken a heart, a heart or two
I've let the curtain fall I guess, it's true
The thought of something borrowed,
Something blue
Was something that I never could pursue
But now you're here
My doubt has disappeared
The clouds are gone, it's clear

From any other love I'd walked away
Love is temporary I would say
Now each night I find a reason to stay
With you there's always brighter days

Even on the coldest nights
Even when the sun won't shine
It's sweeter in the morning time
Just knowing that you're there

From any other love I'd walked away
Love is temporary I would say
Now each night I find a reason to stay
With you there's always brighter days
