Better Days
Navigating Heartbreak: Colin James' Better Days Unveils the Bittersweet Symphony of Lost Love
Lyrics
What's good about a good thing
Reflecting on the questionable nature of positive things that turn away.
That turns it's back and walks away.
Expressing disappointment in a good thing that abandons or leaves.
What's the point in a good love.
Raising the question of the purpose of a love that never stays.
That never has the time to stay.
Highlighting the fleeting nature of a love that lacks time for permanence.
Well it has to be a cruel mind
Suggesting that a cruel mindset is necessary to play games with emotions.
To have the time to make up this game
Implies the creation of emotional games by someone with a cruel mind.
Oh I'll put on a brave face
Putting on a brave face outwardly while feeling different internally.
But inside I'm really not the same
Expressing an internal emotional change despite outward appearances.
So if you're callin' to see how I'm doing
Responding to inquiries with a sense of pain and wounded emotions.
You're rubbing salt into my wound
Describing a phone call as exacerbating emotional wounds.
But if you really want to know the truth
Suggesting a desire for truth despite the emotional pain.
I've had better days
Stating that the current emotional state is not the best.
But nobody's gotta better you
Acknowledging that despite challenges, nobody surpasses the person being addressed.
Well I might have had a better love
Recalling a potentially better love, though it is now forgotten.
But I really don't remember who
Expressing uncertainty about the identity of a past, possibly better, love.
It's not unusual to hope for things you ain't gonna get
Acknowledging the commonality of hoping for unattainable things.
It's not a crime to keep on wishin' for more again
Defending the act of continuing to wish for more despite challenges.
I've been waiting for the sweet words from lips
Waiting for positive words, especially the sound of the person's voice.
Ah, you know the sound of your voice is something that I can't resist.
Expressing the irresistible nature of the person's voice.
So if you're callin' to see how I'm doing
Reiterating that inquiries about well-being intensify emotional pain.
You're rubbin' salt into my wounds
Comparing inquiries to rubbing salt into emotional wounds.
But if you really wanna know the truth
Expressing the difficulty of moving on from the addressed person.
It ain't easy getting over you
Acknowledging the challenge of overcoming the emotional attachment.
I've had better, but nobody's gotta better you
Emphasizing that, despite challenges, nobody surpasses the person being addressed.
Well I might have had a better love
Recalling a potentially better love, though it is now forgotten.
But I really don't remember who.
Expressing uncertainty about the identity of a past, possibly better, love.
So if you're callin' to see how I'm doing
Reiterating that inquiries about well-being intensify emotional pain.
You're rubbin' salt into my wounds
Comparing inquiries to rubbing salt into emotional wounds.
But if you really wanna know the truth
Expressing the difficulty of moving on from the addressed person.
I've had better days, but nobody's gotta better you
Stating that the current emotional state is not the best.
Well I might have had a better love
Emphasizing that, despite challenges, nobody surpasses the person being addressed.
But I really don't remember who.
Recalling a potentially better love, though it is now forgotten.
