Better Days (Pete's Version)

I saw it coming,

I saw emptiness and tragedy

And I felt like running, so far away

But I knew I had to stay

And I know when I'm older

I'll look back and I'll still feel the pain

I know I'll be stronger, and I know I'll be fine, for the rest of my days

I've seen better days

Put my face in my hands

Get down on my knees and I pray to God

Hope he sees me through til the end

I notice most things, but I didn't notice the change

It was hot in the morning

Then it turned so cold towards the end of the day

And there's no condensation

I just felt like I was in space

I needed my friends there, I just turned around

They were gone without a trace

I've seen better days

Put my face in my hands

Get down on my knees and I pray to God

Hope he sees me through til the end

I have just started, and I won't be done, til the end

There's nothing I have lost

That was once placed, in the palm of my hands

And all of these hard times, have faded round the bend

Now that I'm wiser

I cannot wait til I can help my friends

I've seen better days

Put my face in my hands

Get down on my knees and I pray to God

Hope he sees me through til the end

I've seen better days

Put my face in my hands

Get down on my knees and I pray to God

Hope he sees me through til the end
