IM OK I SWEAR
Wake up refreshed
On the right side of the bed
Nothing but happy thoughts
Running through my head
Get ready for the day
Whistling a happy song
I know this feeling will stay
Because nothing's wrong
Ready for the day
I walk out my door
Perfect temperature
After last nights downpour
I walk out to my friends
And give them a wave
They look happy to see me
And start their own days
We start talking together
About nothing at all
We crack a few jokes
About stories we recall
This day started out perfect
Just like all the other ones
I know it'll get better
I'll have so much fun
Who cares if it's Monday?
I have the whole week to look forward to
This might be what my life looks like to you.
Wake up depressed
On the wrong side of the bed
My head filled with bad thoughts
Replaying last night in my head
Get ready for the day
Humming a song about pain
I know this feeling will stay
For there's nothing to gain
Not ready for the day
I stumble out the door
Wishing there was some rain
Left from last nights downpour
I look out and see me friends
I fake a smile And I knew
That their smiles back
Were artificial too
We simply walk in silence
Nothing to talk about
We knew what each other was thinking
Without a single doubt
I know the day will get worse as it goes along
I'll have to pretend to be happy so I at least belong
Although you may not believe it this is my day
Maybe you should think next time if I'm really ok
