For A Better Day Lyrics

Tired of wasting my time, softly spoken
Holding on to your face, in my mind
And you say that you don't, you don't belong
Before I had the chance to, you were gone.

And now I'm waiting
And now I wait...
Now I'm waiting...
Now I'm waiting...

And I don't want to feel, this far away.
I just want to feel, your love...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think that this song is one of Dallas's best. I wish it could have been recorded/redone.

The actual lyrics:

Tired of wasting my time, Softly spoken, Holding onto your face In my mind.

You say that you don't, You don't belong. Before I had a chance to, You were gone.

And now I wait...

I don't wanna feel This far away; I just wanna feel You.
