Lyrics
I've Had Better Days
Look away, before you see me without her
Walk away cause there's nobody there
Move along, Guess I don't belong here
Well it's not my day now that's for sure
Well you're not done running around girl
I can't think about nobody else
My dearest lover, I won't recover
If I can't hold you tonight
Cause I just can't stay here alone
I've had better days, better days
I guess it doesn't pay to be myself
I'd do anything I could do that's for sure
If it would bring you home tonight
My mamma told me I'm some kinda fool
cause I just can't tell what's wrong and what's right
A misconception of your deception
I didn't want a fight
I guess you got a heart made out of stone
I've had better days, better days
And I have never been all by myself
I've had better days, in many ways
And that's for sure
I've got this feeling, got this feeling in my bones
Baby you're not coming home
In the morning when I look at the new day
Will it taste much better with the comfort unknown
Will I make a stand to be a better man
cause I know who I am
I just don't need you that's for sure
I just don't need you
I've had better days, better days
But I'll find better way that's for sure
I've had better days, in many ways
And that's for sure
I've got this feeling, got this feeling in my bones
Got this feeling I'm never gonna die alone
I've got this feeling, something I've already known
I figured out, I'm right at home
