Better Days

I lost a piece of me

You stole my heart and took away my soul

Threw kerosene all on the coal and lit a match, babe

I tried to reason, did the most

But pocket aces never fold

You picked the time and place and showed that you would not cave

You can't keep hiding, hiding

Behind the silence

I get caught in your violence, violence

Know you too well

There's no more fighting, fighting

So done with trying, trying

I can't keep lying, lying

Right to myself

I've seen better days

I'm in a world I can't escape

Took me down a path I hate

And left me broken

And you know you won't change

Forever stuck up in your ways

Went and burned the bridge we made

You tore it all down

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

We've seen better days

I lost that time I can't get back

I lost it all, matter of fact

I wasted every second you were on my mind, babe

There's trauma that you can't unpack

The feeling's so much worse than that

I gave the world and you just laughed without a smile, babe

You can't keep hiding, hiding

Behind the silence

I get caught in your violence, violence

Know you too well

There's no more fighting, fighting

So done with trying, trying

I can't keep lying, lying

Right to myself

I've seen better days

I'm in a world I can't escape

Took me down a path I hate

And left me broken

And you know you won't change

Forever stuck up in your ways

Went and burned the bridge we made

You tore it all down

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

We've seen better days

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

We've seen better days
