I just want you to know
that I'm stuck in your soul
Funny how last week
I thought it couldn't be so
What I see in your eyes
words can't come close
No matter what your father says
I just want you to know
That you're a beautiful person
and I want you to grow
The way he talks to
you's just so inappro
I hope that you're strong
when he's doing you wrong
And I hope you find comfort
in the words of these songs
Now sing along and while
I tell you this story
just listen closely
I know you like
my music but look
you don't really know me
See I live outside the city
where there's nothing going on
I just look around for meaning
while I'm sitting on my lawn
One day I met this girl
and she was beautiful too
I look closely at her eyes
a nice light shade of blue
She was still in high school
I was one year removed
We're both a little older
from the things
we've been through
Pretty soon I started seeing
all the things he would do
She wasn't black and blue
but emotionally bruised
It made me so mad
I didn't know what to do
Told her no matter what
I'mma be there for you
But as things became more
hectic in my life
I started fadin' out
Began to lie to her
I wasn't fair to her
I hate it now
I hope that you can
understand my honesty
I really fuckin' wanna knock
that dude out honestly
You don't have to believe it
but I think about you every day
I sing about you every way
cause you're the perfect melody
I know the world ain't perfect
but to me you were
my everything
My little light of sunshine
I'm holdin' on for better days
I pray for better days
I know what has
to happen I'm away
I know in my life
I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on
for better days
I pray for better days
I know what has
to happen I'm away
I know in my life
I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on
for better days
I wanna go back where we were
sittin' at that ice cream shop
I'm lookin' at you in your eyes
I'm feelin' like my
heart has stopped
You laugh at me for
gettin' soy peanut butter
Back then I thought
shit nah
I don't need no other person
in my life and nothing else
don't even matter to me
Maybe I'm so numb that
nothin' bad can ever
happen to me
Maybe I'm so evil
I attract all of these tragedies
Maybe we're so graceful
we create
all of these masterpieces
So facetious
we would laugh about it
Nobody can reach us
for a half an hour
sleepin' in my half apartment
we don't have to watch the news
I never felt more comfortable
my face so close to you
And I'mma break it down for you
I think about you every day
I sing about you every way
cause you're the perfect melody
I know the world ain't perfect
but to me you were my everything
My little light of sunshine
I'm holdin' on for better days
I pray for better days
I know what has
to happen I'm away
I know in my life
I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on
for better days
I pray for better days
I know what has
to happen I'm away
I know in my life
I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on
for better days
What does it mean
if I don't know
what love feels like
My parents got divorced
when I was young
so I just feel like
Examples that I have to
look upon are probably not great
Knowing you're in a similar
position doesn't make it O K
I'm feeling like my goal
is to make these blue skies
turn grey
But in the blink of an eye
it could go away
So even if it's just for ten minutes
I wanna drive around with you
And think about our life
in the present
these are our better days
I pray for better days
I know what has
to happen I'm away
I know in my life
I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on
for better days
I pray for better days
I know what has
to happen I'm away
I know in my life
I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin' on
for better days
I pray for better days
I know what has to happen
I'm away
I know in my life
I've made mistakes
But I'm holdin'
on for better days days days
The other day I was thinkin' like
How come you never
make a happy song
you know what I'm saying
