I hope today is better

Title: I Just Hope Today Is Better

Verse 1  
Morning light through half-closed blinds  
Same old weight I can’t define  
Coffee’s cold before I try  
Another breath, another sigh  

There’s a list I couldn’t keep  
Dreams that fade before they reach  
I tell myself just take it slow  
But even that feels hard to hold  

Pre-Chorus  
It’s not that I don’t wanna try  
It’s just some days I don’t know why  

Chorus  
I just hope today is better  
Not perfect, just a little light  
A moment where I feel like myself  
And not this endless fight  

If I can make it through the hours  
Without breaking down again  
I’ll call it something close to peace  
Even if it’s just pretend  

Verse 2  
Phone lights up, I let it ring  
Don’t have words for anything  
World moves on, I stand in place  
Trying just to keep my space  

Every step feels twice as far  
Carrying this quiet war  
No one sees the cracks I hide  
Smiling just to get by  

Pre-Chorus  
It’s not that I don’t wanna live  
It’s just some days I’ve got nothing to give  

Chorus  
I just hope today is better  
Not perfect, just a little calm  
A second where my chest feels still  
And I can breathe without the storm  

If I can make it through the noise  
Without losing who I am  
I’ll call it something close to hope  
Even if I barely can  

Bridge  
Maybe it’s a smaller win  
Getting up and trying again  
Maybe healing’s just this slow  
Learning things I used to know  

If the sun can find my face  
Maybe I can find my place  

Final Chorus (soft, stripped)  
I just hope today is better  
That’s all I really need  
One quiet hour, one steady hand  
One moment I can breathe  

And if it comes, I’ll hold it close  
Like it might slip away  
I’m not asking for forever…  
Just a better day  

Outro (gentle, almost spoken)  
Just a better day…
