These Days
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think I was better off before this all began
So clearly I can see lately
That you don't know who I am
Everybody tried to tell me something
That I never could believe
Staring back it seems so much different
Than it did in front of me
But I know there's no good
In looking back on yesterday
And wondering what could have happened then
You think you can give me what I want
You say, you say
I think I'm better off alone
These days, these days
Why should I put my trust in something
That I never could beleive
So one day you could find something better
Just to pack your things and leave
Loneliness is a friend for a moment
But she won't walk out on me
And I know there's no good
In looking back on yesterday
And wondering what could have happened then
You think you can give me what I want
You say, you say
I think I'm better off alone
These days, these days
I'm tired and I'm sick of waiting
Maybe I'll die alone
'Cause I can't take another damn day
Of waiting here for you to come to me
Baby, baby, please tell me why
You think you can give me what I want
You say, you say
I think I'm better off alone
These days, these days
