Sunny Days

Verse 1

Woke up again at a quarter past two

Room so dark that the daylight can’t break through

Phone keeps buzzing, people asking if I’m fine

I say “yeah” automatically every time

Truth is I don’t really know what happy means

Feels like everybody else got better genes

Tried medication, tried fixing my brain

But the pills never touched all the hurt and pain

I got low vitamin D from staying inside

The sun doesn’t burn me, I just wanna hide

Funny how the grey skies make me feel okay

Like the clouds understand me anyway

Pre-Chorus

People ask me, “Are you doing alright?”

I just laugh and say, “Yeah, I’m fine”

But I’ve been living half asleep

Running on autopilot every night

Chorus

These Sunny Days keep wearing me down

Too much light when I’m already drowning now

Everybody loves the blue sky glow

But I feel more alone when the sunlight shows

These Sunny Days never felt like home

Grey clouds understand me when nobody knows

And I don’t know if happiness is made for my brain

So I keep surviving through these Sunny Days

Verse 2

There are nights when the lows get hard to fight

And I lose all hope somewhere past midnight

Mind goes places that I can’t let show

Even when I really wanna let go

But my little brother’s still growing up

And I could never leave him with that stuff

If he found me broken in a pool of red

I think that image would stay inside his head

So I stick around and I make these plans

Try becoming the best version of who I am

Even if I’m unhappy most the time

I still force myself to survive

Pre-Chorus

Yeah I know what everybody says to do

Exercise, eat right, let sunlight through

And maybe science says it all could help

But I hate working out, and food’s my comfort shelf

Chorus

These Sunny Days keep wearing me down

Too much light when I’m already drowning now

Everybody loves the blue sky glow

But I feel more alone when the sunlight shows

These Sunny Days never felt like home

Grey clouds understand me when nobody knows

And I don’t know if happiness is made for my brain

So I keep surviving through these Sunny Days

Bridge

Maybe healing’s slow, maybe healing’s weird

Maybe that’s why I’m still standing here

Still making plans for a life ahead

Even with all these thoughts inside my head

And maybe one day I’ll finally change

Maybe sunshine won’t feel so strange

Maybe someday I’ll believe

There’s more to life than just surviving me

Final Chorus

These Sunny Days still follow me home

Even in crowded rooms I feel alone

But I keep breathing for the ones I love

Waiting for a sign from somewhere above

These Sunny Days still live in my mind

But maybe I’m stronger than I realize

And maybe happiness takes time and pain

Till then I’ll keep walking through these Sunny Days
