Better Days by SuperM

Woo, it's gonna be
I say, yeah, it's gonna be

Alright, remember the times, when we were kids
Just running round, full of hope, ignorance was bliss
Young dumb living care free
We had the whole world at our feet

That's right, then out of the blue, it all changes
Turned upside down, when I look around, all I see is scared faces
We woke up to a bad dream
A world full of uncertainty

But mirror, mirror, I see you
And all your hopes and fears
I'ma stay by your side
So baby, let me dry your tears

I know that it feels like the world is falling down
And you can't make it through
There's gon be better days, better days, better days
Better days, better days, better days (Yeah)

Just gotta hold on
Yeah, I know that it hurts but the sun will shine through
There's gon be better days, better days, better days
Around the corner, it's true
I said I know there's gonna be better days for you

So let me be, your guiding light
In a new world with new problems, hold on tight
'Cause no storm lasts forever (Ain't that the truth)
We'll get through this together

I got you, so don't lose you
You're special, runs through you
We lost our old lives, I swear you'll find a brand new you
We'll rise up from the madness, like a, phoenix from the ashes

.................

I can't fix your heart, but I can listen
Ain't got no answers, but I got tissues
Lean on me, lean on me
So baby, dry your eyes (Dry your eyes)

............
