Lyrics


Better Days

What are you hiding from

You are part of the sum

What has been going on

Your confidence has gone


You have seen better days

You have lived better ways


What are you waiting for

Answers that question more

Unexpected they will come

Are you expecting some


You have seen better days

You have lived better ways


Only time will tell

What will come of you

Only crime could sell

What you're trying to


Where are you heading to

What plans will you pull through

With trouble in the wings

Will you risk anything


You have seen better days

You have lived better ways
