BETTER DAYS
BYRD/SUPA
2013

WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN A COLD SWEAT
TRYIN’ TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU WANT TO FORGET
LIVIN’ YOUR LIFE LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE
IT MAKES YOU WONDER
WHEN YOUR GET HIGH IS YOUR ONLY FRIEND
BUT YOU KNOW IT KILLS YOU IN THE END
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS
BETTER DAYS

SOME DOWNTOWN AND A BOTTLE OF WINE
IT MAKES YOU CROSS ANOTHER LINE
WHEN DEMONS TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE
AND YOU JUST LET EM’
WHEN YOU LOVE THE CRASH AND BURN
WITHOUT A SINGLE LESSON LEARNED
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS
BETTER DAYS

I CAN’T DO IT ANYMORE
CAN’T GO THROUGH IT ANYMORE
WHEN YOU’RE IN SO DEEP YOU CAN’T GET BACK
ALL YOUR DREAMS JUST FADE TO BLACK
WHEN YOU WANNA QUIT BUT YOU CAN’T WALK AWAY
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS

WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY ALIBIS
HIDING IN YOUR BLOODSHOT EYES
YOU CAN’T SEE THROUGH THOSE COCAINE LIES
AND YOU CALL THAT LIVIN’?
WHEN LIFE IT TASTES BITTER SWEET
OUT THERE ON A DEAD END STREET
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS
BETTER DAYS

I CAN’T DO IT ANYMORE
CAN’T GO THROUGH IT ANYMORE
WHEN YOU’RE IN SO DEEP YOU CAN’T GET BACK
ALL YOUR DREAMS JUST FADE TO BLACK
WHEN YOU WANNA QUIT BUT YOU CAN’T WALK AWAY
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS

SOLO

I CAN’T DO IT ANYMORE
CAN’T GO THROUGH IT ANYMORE
EVERY MISTAKE LEFT A SCAR
NEVER THOUGHT I’D FALL THIS FAR
WHEN THE COST OF GETTING’ HIGH IT NEVER PAYS
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS
YOU’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS
