My Friend (Better Days)

from The Devil EP by Luke McCartin

lyrics

When will it end?
Whatever's bringing you down
If I could see the way out I would show you.
When will it break through?
That sun that used to shine
If I could change your sky well I would turn it blue.

Better days, seems they won't come your way
You'd try but you can't stop yourself from falling
Lost your way, trying to find any way, to make it through today
My friend, you've seen better days

You turned to drinking, to stop all of your thinking
I wish I could but I can't blame you.
Do you remember, we were growing up together
Before making it through meant needing a few.

Better days, seems they won't come your way
You'd try but you can't stop yourself from falling
Lost your way, trying to find any way, to make it through today
My friend, you've seen better days

Not sure how much you can take
how much longer can it go on like this
Tired eyes, one too many late nights
You can't help yourself, you can't put it down
Oh no you can't put it down
Well oh my friend
You have seen better days
My friend, you've seen better days
