Better Days

Summer breeze is blowing
All these troubles away
The wings of this winding road
Take me far from yesterday

And I can't see me caring
About your incandescent fears
Tears long dried upon my cheeks
The world now open years

And we spent all these years saying nothing
Until there was nothing left to say

I find my love growing apart from you
Leaving all the sadness, for these better days

Our youth was overflowing
With promise of the American dream
Time grinding down reality
To a simple silent scream

We gave up by giving in
Tying each other's noose
Waiting for the day to come again
With nothing else to lose

And we spent all these years saying nothing
Until there was nothing left to say

I find my love growing apart from you
Leaving all the sadness, for these better days

Now I never wanted it to end this way
But the end came just the same
Now I'm living a stranger's life alone
In these better days, in these better days

And I never wanted it to end this way
But the end came just the same
Now I'm living a stranger's life alone
In these better days, in these better days

And we spent all these years saying nothing
Until there was nothing left to say

I find my love growing apart from you
Leaving all the sadness, for these better days

And I never wanted it to end this way
But the end came just the same
