[Intro – Slow, cold piano]
[Verse 1 – Lead]
I woke up wishing I stayed asleep
The silence spoke for me
The world keeps moving on
But something’s broken deep in me
[Verse 1 – Harmony]
Another practiced smile
So no one sees the pain
Some days just being here
Feels heavier than the rain
[Pre-Chorus – Soft Harmony]
If I fade for a little while
Would anyone care?
Or am I just another shadow
Lost somewhere out there?
[Chorus – All, restrained]
It’s a bad day, bad day
Everything hurts inside
Bad day, bad day
Nowhere left to hide
I try to stand up straight
But I fall the same
It’s just a bad day
But today I don’t feel strong, okay
[Verse 2 – Lead]
Time moves slow at night
When my mind won’t rest
Some days breathing in
Is honestly my best
[Verse 2 – Harmony]
Words stuck in my throat
Tears with no release
I say that I’m okay
But I’m drowning quietly
[Rap / Chant – Soft, almost spoken]
Not drama, just tired
Fighting while I’m uninspired
Bad day pulling me down
Still I’m standing my ground
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Harmony]
If the light doesn’t come back
I’ll wait right here
Bad days never warn you
They just leave you scared
[Chorus – All, emptier]
It’s a bad day, bad day
Don’t ask me to smile
Bad day, bad day
Existing hurts for a while
If tomorrow feels kind
I’ll try again
But tonight it’s a bad day
And I’ll let it hurt… just then
[Outro – Piano solo]
Bad day
Not the end
But it broke me today
