Janet Jackson - Better Days Lyrics






I used to sit and wonder
Would I ever be happy
Life was so bittersweet
So many disappointments
Too many ups and downs for me
When you live a nightmare
It's hard to dream

But sometimes life just isn't fair
So why complain nobody cares
And I don't wanna waste nobody's time
So I'm

I'm about to change my vibe
Today the sun's gonna shine
'Cause I made up my mind
That today will be the start of better days
Leaving old shit behind
And move on with my life
The blindfolds off my eyes
And now all I see for me is better days

Afraid of my reflection
Tell me that's not me I see
That's who I wanna be
Stuck somewhere in the middle
On half full or half empty
Waiting for somebody to come and rescue me

Can't let that petty attitude
Start to jade my point of view
Only thing that does is bring me down
So I'm

I'm about to change my vibe
Today the sun's gonna shine
'Cause I made up my mind
That today will be the start of better days
Leaving old shit behind
And move on with my life
The blindfolds off my eyes
And now all I see for me is better days

Hurt so many times before
I used to cry but no more
Let it go and life can feel
So good
Stop lying the blues

Can't let that petty attitude
Start to jade my point of view
Only thing that does is bring me down
So I'm

I'm about to change my vibe
Today the sun's gonna shine
'Cause I made up my mind
That today will be the start of better days
Leaving old shit behind
And move on with my life
The blindfolds off my eyes
And now all I see for me is better days

    Janet Jackson Better Days

    [Verse 1]
    I used to sit and wonder
    Would I ever be happy?
    Life was so bitter sweet
    So many disappointments
    Too many ups and downs for me
    When you live a nightmare, it's hard to dream

    [Pre-Chorus]
    But sometimes life just isn't fair
    So why complain nobody cares?
    And I don't wanna waste nobody's time
    So I'm...

    [Chorus]
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    I'm 'bout to change my vibe
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    Today the sun's gonna shine
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    'Cause I made up my mind
    That today will be the start of better days
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    Leavin' old shit behind
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    And move on with my life
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    The blindfold's off my eyes
    And now all I see for me is better days

    [Verse 2]
    Afraid of my reflection
    Tell me that's not me I see
    That's who I wanna be
    Stuck somewhere in the middle
    On half full or half empty
    Waitin' for somebody to come and rescue me

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Can't let that petty attitude
    Start to jade my point of view
    Only thing it does is bring me down
    So I'm...

    [Chorus]
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    I'm 'bout to change my vibe
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    Today the sun's gonna shine
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    'Cause I made up my mind
    That today will be the start of better days
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    Leavin' old shit behind
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    And move on with my life
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    The blindfold's off my eyes
    And now all I see for me is better days

    [Bridge]
    Hurt so many times before
    I used to cry but no more
    Just let it go and life can feel so good
    Stop livin' the blues
    Can't let that petty attitude
    Start to jade my point of view
    Only thing it does is bring me down
    So I'm...

    [Chorus]
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    I'm 'bout to change my vibe
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    Today the sun's gonna shine
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    'Cause I made up my mind
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    That today will be the start of better days
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    Leavin' old shit behind
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    And move on with my life
    (Papaa papaa paaa)
    The blindfold's off my eyes
    And now all I see for me is better days

    I'm 'bout to change my vibe
    (Better day, yeah)
    Today the sun's gonna shine
    (Better day)
    'Cause I made up my mind
    (Better day yeah)
    That today will be the start of better days
    (Better day, yeah)
