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
