Viewing lyrics for Those Were Better Days by Gary Reed.

Those Were Better Days

I held my breathe till my face turned blue
Wishing I could take back what I said to you
Before you, only moonless nights
Dark as hell, searching for the light

I don’t know why but I had to lie
Hoped you’d believe my silly alibies
Now I have to say since she’s gone
Those were my better days

Chorus
Oh the rain keeps pouring down
Standing alone at the edge of town
Girl, I know that I let you down
What can I say, those were better days

Hey pretty babe can you see it my way
I’ll prove to you I’m a better man today
Better than those days, better than those nights
Better than those times I pushed you out of my mind

Chorus

It’s easy to say OK I’ll let you go
Find someone who won’t ask where I’ve gone
Someone who takes me for who I am
For what I am and just be her man

Chorus
