Better Days

On the corner of Hadley Park Lives a fella with a broken heart A broken heart You can see him after dark Through the window raising a toast To the one he loved the most And then he throws it sideways against the wall Shards and bourbon fall to the floor He goes to pour one more, like he's done A hundred times before It's the morning he's not been long Asleep and dreaming of what went wrong Ooh what went wrong He's fully dressed his Sunday best Creased and stained and what remains Is that something's never change And now he's falling backwards against the wall Like the bourbon the night before Can't take it anymore This is to the better days Now it's all become a haze Since she's been away Drinking to the better days Guess this is the price I pay For the one that got away On the corner of Hadley Park Lives a fella learnt to mend his heart Oooh mend his heart He's taking simple steps each day Chose not to wish his life away It's short enough anyway And then he chose a colour to paint his wall Fresh and new not like before Cause change comes to us all And we all have the ability to fall This is to the better days Now it's all become a haze Since she's been away Drinking to the better days Guess this is the price I pay But don't let life get away Don't let life get away All we have is here today
