Better Days
Mob; Squad-E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our eyes stuck on each other like glue
Yet I don’t know to feel right now
This weight in my brain is bringing me down
Words I know I don’t mean are getting too loud
Confessing things I know I don’t feel
Running from what’s getting closer
Waiting for my scars to heal
I never left but i never stayed
I know that I have seen better days
I don’t wanna be someone you knew
But I don’t wanna keep crying for you
I might just run away
From the face of today
Cause time isn’t worth the wait
Confessing things I know I don’t feel
Running from what’s getting closer
Waiting for my scars to heal
Chasing love while jogging in place
I never left but i never stayed
I know that I have seen better days
