Better Days

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I learned to run Just by watching father Held my tongue And he said I should Darling, I went to bed in the early hours Played along, played along the best I could [Verse 2] I learned to cry Before I knew what fear was Learned to bite Before my teeth grew in Darling I looked away when I wasn't wanted Played along, I played along the best I could Played along, I played along the best I could [Chorus] In better days I believe, I believe in the words I sing aloud I recall what they meant when I first wrote them down And I don't second guess what I learned along the way I smile just the same In better days I don't have to live up to the legends in my past I recall what I lost and I'll never have again I just try to take it all like a woman twice my age In better days, in better days [Verse 3] Learned to kiss Like they do in movies I learned to flirt Before I spoke a word Darling I learned to laugh even when I hate it Played along, played along the best I could [Verse 4] And every night I play that same old record Every day I dance that same old dance Singing "though there are clouds in the sky I'll get by If I smile, if I smile the best I can If I smile, if I smile the best I can" [Interlude] Da, da-da-da da da da da Da, da-da-da da da da da [Chorus] In better days I believe, I believe in the words I sing aloud I recall what they meant when I first wrote them down And I don't second guess what I learned along the way I smile just the same In better days I don't have to live up to the legends in my past I recall what I lost and I'll never have again I just try to take it all like a woman twice my age In better days, in better days
