  • Today is the day, the worst day of my life
    You sulk until it hurts me, I don't know why
    The cost of misery is at an all time high
    I keep it hidden
    Close to the surface, inside

    I'm learning to fall, I can hardly breathe
    When I'm going down, don't worry about me
    Don't try this at home, pretend you don't see
    I don't wanna know that you know it should have been me

    Could you be with him or was it just a lie?
    He doesn't get you like I do and you don't know why
    You change your clothes and your hair
    But I can't change your mind
    Oh, I'm uninvited, so unrequited, now

    I'm learning to fall, I can hardly breathe
    When I'm going down, don't worry about me
    Don't try this at home, pretend you don't see
    I don't wanna know that you know I should have been me

    Words screaming in my head, why did you leave?
    And I can't stop dreaming, watching you and him
    When it should have been, it should have been me

    Today is the day, the worst day of my life
    I'm learning to fall, I can hardly breathe
    When I'm going down, don't worry about me
    Don't try this at home, pretend you don't see
    I don't wanna know that you know it should have been me

    I'm learning to fall, I can hardly breathe
    I don't wanna know that you know
    Don't try this at home, pretend you don't see
    I don't want to know that you know, it should've been me
    I'm learning to fall, I can hardly breathe
    I don't wanna know that you know, it should have been me
    Don't try this at home, pretend you don't see
    I don't wanna know that you know, it should've been me Writer/s: David Katz, Martin Johnson, Sam Hollander
