Some days it’s easier to run… easier to go
Than to stay here and face these feelings all alone
Easier to discount… easier to disregard
Easier to run… staying is hard

Some days it’s easier to breakdown… easier to cry
Than to eventually lose… even though I tried
Easier to quit… easier to lie
Easier to depart… easier to die

Some days it’s easier to rejoice… easier to sing
Than to travel through despair for every petite thing
Easier to discount… easier to disregard
Running the other way won’t get me far

Some days it’s hard to wake up… hard to rise
Knowing the day shall bring despair and demise
One day I woke up… looked into the sky
And sang… rejoiced… knowing I’m alive
