"In Better Times" lyrics

"In Better Times"

Girl, come on, can't you see?
When you lie, you break the seal
Drain the sea of love
That we have for you

Ah, cold in your eyes
Don't you know?
That you break my heart in two
Try to see behind
Those walls you've made your own

Skipping over the ocean like a stone
Looking for a place that you call home
Well, I don't know
I thought home was in your heart
I didn't know
That your heart was so apart

In better times, you will fly
Do all the things you wanna do
Not all the things that others want you to

So, what you need, is to see
It's okay to be yourself
And that with belief
That the world will do the rest
Ah, belief, and the world will do the rest

Sinking into the ocean like a stone
Looking for a place that you call home
Well, I don't know
I thought home was in your heart
I didn't know
That your heart was so apart

Waiting for the bus
To take you home
Standing out in the rain
On your phone
Ah, it makes me so sad
To think of you all alone

In better times
You will fly
In better times
In better times, oh
