Verse 1 I woke up today with my mood in the way With no means to forget With all of my hopes of your love on the ropes I haven't got back up yet And the couple I saw kissing and carrying on Didn't help change a thing It's the same old sight I saw last night In every one of my dreams Chorus: I've had better days, in airports with rain delays Flat tires in traffic jams, and any time I've been damned I've had better days, when the pain wouldn't go away And tears watering down my pride Yea, I've had better Verse 2 I got up, went down to work Anything's better than this Better than a death with each passing breath You're too hard to miss But I won't miss the pain that drives my brain Straight into a twirl When all I see is your memory spinning 'round my world Chorus I've had better days, in airports with rain delays Flat tires in traffic jams, and any time I've been damned I've had better days, when the pain wouldn't go away And tears watering down my pride Yea, I've had better Well, I've got to hold my head up and look around I can't let just one day get me down Chorus I'll have better days, when everything goes my way I'll fly over traffic jams, just like Superman I'll have better days when the pain just goes away And the tears leave and I find my pride Yea, I'll have better Well, I woke up today with my mood in the way And no means to forget
