Cam Meekins Better Days song lyrics

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 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

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 days days

The other day I was thinkin' like

How come you never make a happy song you know what I'm saying?
