Better Days
To Have Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All apologies my dear, I know you feel like I?m not here
And part of me is missing all the time
I only give you half of me, ?cos I?m afraid the rest of me
Will scare you into leaving me behind
So I keep my secrets to keep us safe
?Cos I did a lot of things and I just don?t know what to say
I made mistakes that, baby, I can never take away
So I will wait, wait for a better day
With everything I keep from you, you might think I don?t love you
But nothing could be further from the truth
I just want things to stay the same, they probably will the more I wait
But if we don?t talk I?m gonna fall away from you
But I keep my secrets, to keep us safe
?Cos I did a lot of things and I just don?t know what to say
I made mistakes that, baby, I can never take away
I want to tell you everything but I think we would change
So I will wait, wait for a better day
I know it?s not right, but I?ll keep hiding anyway
All these things, I know I should say
But baby, I?m afraid
I did a lot of things and I just don?t know what to say
I made mistakes that, baby, I can never take away
I want to tell you everything but I think we would change
So I will wait, wait for a better day

The song talks about the importance of waiting for a better day and the fear of losing someone if everything is disclosed.
The song has a slow tempo and acoustic guitar strumming in the background, which adds to the emotional depth of the lyrics. The melody gradually builds up towards the end, when the lyrics suggest a hint of hope for the future. The singer acknowledges that he is afraid to open up and that he has done things that he cannot take back. He knows he wants to share everything with the person he loves, but feels that doing so will change things between them. As a result, he has decided to wait for a better day, when he can share his true feelings and secrets with the one he loves.

I will always say that good music has a certain force behind it, and the tracks that I enjoy are almost always that make you really feel that power.
With that said; holy shit this is powerful!
