[Style: Indie Pop/Rap / Emotional Acoustic]
[Tempo: ~80 BPM]
[Key: E Minor]
[Mood: Heavy → honest → hopeful]
[Intro (soft piano / ambient)]
Yeah…
Some days just hit different…
[Verse 1]
Stressed out, head a mess, heart is hurting,
How do I move on? How do I learn this?
Failure after failure, I don’t see the positive,
Looking in the mirror like I’m not who I’m supposed to be.
Depressed and I don’t feel like myself,
Want to cry, want to hide from everything I felt.
Telling myself I don’t deserve to be happy,
Like every mistake is still right here at me.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I’m not perfect…
But why does it feel like I’m worthless?
[Chorus]
I just hope there’ll be better days,
Where I don’t feel stuck in this place.
Where my mind don’t fight me every night…
And I finally feel okay.
I just hope there’ll be better days,
Where I don’t feel lost in the pain.
If I hold on just a little longer…
Will it change?
[Verse 2]
Mistakes made, yeah I know them well,
Every single one like a story I tell.
They replay in my head like I can’t escape,
Like they define every move I make.
Tell me I can do better, I’m trying to believe it,
Write a love letter to myself but I don’t feel it.
Self-love, self-worth — I say it out loud…
But it don’t hit the same right now.
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep telling myself it’s fine…
But I know I’ve been lying inside.
[Chorus]
I just hope there’ll be better days,
Where I don’t feel stuck in this place.
Where my mind don’t fight me every night…
And I finally feel okay.
I just hope there’ll be better days,
Where I don’t feel lost in the pain.
If I hold on just a little longer…
Will it change?
[Bridge (stripped, almost spoken)]
It’s not that deep…
But that’s how I feel things.
I say I’m done, say I can’t go on…
Then I wake up and I’m still holding on.
Am I overreacting?
Does that make me a bad person?
Or just someone trying…
To make it through?
[Final Chorus (slightly lifted)]
I just hope there’ll be better days,
Even if they feel far away.
Even if I don’t see it right now…
I won’t walk away.
I just hope there’ll be better days,
Where I don’t feel lost in the pain.
If I hold on just a little longer…
I might change.
[Outro (soft)]
Yeah…
I just need a little time.
