It's a bad day today, you don't need to say why
Don't have to explain away the tears in your eyes
We can go downtown to spend all our savings
Hole up for a weekend and keep the world waiting

'Cause sometimes the healing hurts more
So you stay where you are, open wound in your heart and you
Keep on bleeding 'cause you're used to the feeling
Control is the answer and change is the villain and

You deserve healing, you don't deserve that scar
You don't deserve feeling much smaller than you are
You deserve a childhood with sunnier weather
You deserve love, you deserve better

You can lash out on me, I know you don't mean it
Broken people broke you, you can't help but repeat it
You worry I'd leave you, but darling I swear
I promised I'd love you, I ain't going nowhere

'Cause sometimes the healing hurts more
So you stay where you are, open wound in your heart and you
Keep on bleeding 'cause you're used to the feeling
Control is the answer, change is the villain and

You deserve healing, you don't deserve that scar
You don't deserve feeling much smaller than you are
You deserve a childhood with sunnier weather
You deserve love, you deserve better

So here's to us and better days
A summer breeze and Sun rays
Ocean views, clear skies
No abuse, a better life

You deserve healing, you don't deserve that scar
You don't deserve feeling much smaller than you are
You deserve a childhood with sunnier weather
You deserve love, you deserve better

You deserve love, you deserve love
You deserve love, you deserve love
You deserve love, you deserve love
You deserve love, you deserve better
