Better Days
Embracing Tomorrow: Jeff Timmons' Melodic Reflection on Letting Go
Lyrics
I know that you've gone away
The person acknowledges that the other individual has left.
And your afraid of what you feel inside
The departed person is scared of their emotions.
And I know that it's much to late
Recognizes that it's too late for something.
But it's okay it's time to ease your mind
Accepts the situation and encourages the other to relax.
That first I had trouble just letting you go
Initially struggled to let the person go.
It all was a blur, I was losing control
Experienced confusion and a sense of losing control.
But now I can see that it's better this way
Realizes that the separation is actually beneficial.
The choices I made pushed you further away
Takes responsibility for choices that led to distance.
Chorus
Chorus (Repeated throughout the song).
So go on with your life
Encouragement for the person to move forward.
I won't stand in the way
Expresses willingness to not hinder their progress.
Because I know that tomorrow will bring better days
Belief in a brighter future ("better days") ahead.
And I made some mistakes
Admits personal errors or missteps.
But I want you to see
Desire for the other person to understand their realization.
That I finally realize that we are not meant to be
Acceptance that the relationship wasn't destined to be.
Trying to find a way
Attempting to find a way to keep the person around.
To make you stay and keep you here with me
Desire to retain the other person's presence.
But I know that the greatest gift that I could give
Realization that setting the person free is the best gift.
Is just to set you free
Acknowledges stepping back for the other's betterment.
So I'm stepping aside gonna swallow my pride
Ready to let go of pride for the other's happiness.
Cause I know you deserve more out of life
Acknowledges the other deserves more in life.
And you have all my blessings
Offers blessings for the other's future.
You'll be in my prayers
Assures prayers and support if needed.
And just know if you need me
Expresses availability if the other person requires support.
I'll always be there
Commitment to be there when needed.
Chorus
Repeated Chorus.
So go on with your life
-I won't stand in the way
-Cause I know that tomorrow will bring better days
-And I made some mistakes
-But I want you to see
-That I finally realize that we are not meant to be
-Bridge
Bridge describing the admiration and value of the departed person.
You're everything that I wish I could be
-And I can't describe what your love means to me
-Your tender heart and compassion so sweet
-Something for the whole world to see
-Chorus (till end)
Repeated Chorus.
So go on with your life
-I won't stand in the way
-Because I know that tomorrow will bring better days
-And I made some mistakes
-But I want you to see
-That I finally realize that we are not meant to be
