  • Everyone's damaged
    A little depressed
    Every now and then we get that feeling in our chest
    Some days I'm a loser, brush my teeth in the dark
    Head above water in a swimming pool of sharks

    Ooh, it's hard to get up out of bed when everything is on its head
    And nothing seems to make any sense
    Like a Band-Aid on a bleeding heart
    I fake a smile and fall apart
    And no one ever knows I'm a wreck

    When the world is on your shoulders
    And the weight of your own heart is too much to bear
    Well, I know that you're afraid things will always be this way
    It's just a bad day, not a bad life

    Everything's backwards and I'm hanging on
    No matter how hard I try I always come undone
    Backed in a corner, uncomfortably numb
    Watching myself become a shadow of someone

    Oh, it's hard to find a place to hide
    When you're running from what's inside
    No matter where you go, there you are
    So tonight I'll go to war with me
    'Cause I'm my own worst enemy and I don't wanna fight anymore

    When the world is on your shoulders
    And the weight of your own heart is too much to bear
    Well, I know that you're afraid things will always be this way
    It's just a bad day, not a bad life
    And I know it feels so hopeless
    And I know how close you are to the edge right now
    So I wrote this song to say, things won't always be this way, no
    It's just a bad day, not a bad life

    Ooh, yeah
    Yeah-yeah
    Yeah, oh

    When the world is on your shoulders
    And the weight of your own heart is too much to bear
    Well, I know that you're afraid things will always be this way
    It's just a bad day, not a bad life
    And I know it feels so hopeless
    And I know how close you are to the edge right now
    So I wrote this song to say, things won't always be this way, no
    It's just a bad day, not a bad life

    Yeah, it's just a bad day, not a bad life Writer/s: Jordan Fish, Oliver Sykes, Sigrid Solbakk Raabe
