lyrics

Some days are easier than others
Today is not that day.
Some days are easier than others
Today is not that day
Oh no

I’m sick of trying and I want to stop it's tempting
Cause how can you not make things harder when the decks feel so stacked.
Even though it’ll pass,
I still want to disappear.
I learned the hard way, I learned the hard way.
Not every day is gonna feel okay.

Some days are easier than others
Today is not that day.
Some days are easier than others
Today is not that day
Oh no

So tell me about your day
Wash mine away

So sick I’m crying as I watch the time just slip away
When I try to hold on, I just crumble.
The pressure pulls me under
Even though it'll pass,
I still wanna hide away.
I learned the hard way, I learned the hard way
The tide comes back just take it day by day

Some days are easier than others
Today is not that day.

So tell me about your day
Wash mine away
Wash my mind away
Melt away my face
Tell me we’re okay

I’m sick of trying and I want to stop pretending
