Better Days Lyrics

It’s a song about a singer who’s telling himself to live in reality.

His former lover left him, and he’s been searching for the truth, proof that his former lover actually loved him and still does.

When he sees that she finally admits to loving him (that’s where he wants to be, is to be with her when she admits to loving him), it’s too late/it’s not where he belongs… she’s just going through the grieving process, and looking within herself (chasing mirrors/finding herself).
