Better Days

I know I've seen better days, somewhere down the road
And everyday I've been asking that, someone lift this load
I dream I could grow some wings, to fly away from here
But then who'd take care of everything, if I'm not there to steer?

So I will find it, and I will climb it
But I see now I'm not going home
And will it change me? I've fallen on my knees
When the night's falling all I can say, is
I've seen better days

Lately I can't fall asleep, I toss and turn at night
Enemies come pouring in, when I turn out the lights
Mom got sick some time ago, and I got bills to pay
Busted cars and battle scars, but I can't run away

So I will find it, and I have climbed it
But I see now I'm not going home
And will it change me, the life I wanted to lead?
When the night's falling all I can say, is
I've seen better days

I know I've seen better days, somewhere down the road
And everyday I've been asking that, someone lift this load

So I will find it, and I will climb it
But I see now I'm not going home
And will it change me, I've fallen down on my knees
When the night's falling all I can say, is
I've seen better days
