And I don't understand it Never goes as planned it I could tell you one million things that didn't go my way And if you felt you ever had it Getting up, make it a habit You better take your shots or some things'll never change If you want better days If you want better days Better days Better days Better days, yeah, I know they're coming My legs get weak, but I keep on running I had a life, but I didn't love it Takes time, but love will come in I know the things that I need Leave my one reason to breathe The one thing that matters to me is I never settle in And I don't understand it Never goes as planned it I could tell you one million things that didn't go my way And if you felt you ever had it Getting up, make it a habit You better take your shots or some things'll never change If you want better days Yeah, and I don't understand it Man, I've been praying for some answers How you supposed to get up while you laid out on the canvas? I been afraid, panic takes my breath away, asthma Never cave in, there will be better days after One hell of a ride I've been through hell and the fire From the depths of my despair with nowhere for me to hide And they say that life is hard, it ain't easy getting by But sometimes it takes the lows to appreciate the highs As I reach for the sky, we climb and leave our demons behind Searching for peace of mind, here's a piece of my mind I think we should read between the lines Go and redefine the reason why that we're even alive Some believe in God and some believe in chance Regardless of the past I think that there's better days ahead and I'll believe in that And I don't understand it Never goes as planned it I could tell you one million things that didn't go my way And if you felt you ever had it Getting up, make it a habit You better take your shots or some things'll never change If you want better days If you want better days Better days Better days
