Lyrics: Shawn Mullins. Better Days. Shed a Tear.

Yeah, okay

Here I am
And once again I've come this far
Everywhere you go
You never know, you're right there where you are

I thought by now
You'd surely shoot a different line
Your tracks still on my back but I'm feeling fine

You're not the angel you make out to be
The road you think you're on
It blinds you, tell me can you see?

And did you ever make it clear for me, fear for me
Did you shed a tear for me?
Did you shed a tear? No, no

I see you
And hear the things you say you are
I see through
We all do, but it's gotten you this far

What you do and what you say and what you feel
Is meaningless unless we all allow it to be real

You're running reckless, rampant around in rage
You keep yourself so high
Your feet don't ever touch the stage

And did you ever stop to think about
The mess you've made, or do you wait
Until you find a war to wage?
Until you find a war? Hey, hey

There you are
And once again
You'll never know

Where you are
You're never far from where you're gonna go
You know

But by now
You'd stumble on to better things
The thing is now
I don't know, why you don't know what it means

You're not the angel you make out to be
The road you think you're on
It blinds you, tell me can you see?

And did you ever make it clear for me, fear for me
Did you shed a tear for me?
Did you shed a tear?
Did you shed a tear?
