Worst Days
Navigating Life's Depths: Lessons Learned Through Hardship
Lyrics
I've come a long way from seventeen
I've made significant progress since the age of seventeen.
The aftermath of teenage dreams
Reflecting on the consequences of teenage aspirations.
Lived in rock bottom at 22
Experienced a low point in life at the age of 22.
Back when I said it's not me, it's you
Previously blamed others, saying "it's not me, it's you."
But then I went to therapy
Engaged in therapy to address personal issues.
And I faced problems caused by me
Faced problems and took responsibility for them.
I spent all summer on the couch
Spent an entire summer on a therapist's couch.
Still makes me sad thinking about
Recalling with sadness the past experiences during therapy.
How I lost friends I had before my first kiss
Lost friends before experiencing a first kiss.
How no one even seemed to miss me
Felt unmissed by others during that challenging time.
I hope they're doing well these days
Expressing well wishes for the friends lost in the past.
Need to remind myself and say
Reminding oneself of personal growth and positive changes.
Don't make promises you can't keep
Cautioning against making promises that cannot be fulfilled.
Only say the things that you mean
Advocating honesty and sincerity in communication.
I think I've learned a thing or two
Claiming to have learned valuable lessons in life.
I still have a lot to lose
Acknowledging the presence of ongoing challenges and potential losses.
I've lived through every one of my worst days
Endured and survived through the most challenging days.
I still cry every year on my birthday
Continues to feel emotional on each birthday.
Loving myself? I'm still learning
Struggling with self-love and still in the process of learning.
While the world just keeps on turning
Observing life's constant changes despite personal struggles.
I dated someone I couldn't fix
Had a relationship with someone beyond repair.
I became someone I'll never miss
Transformed into a person one would rather forget.
haven't put myself out there since
Avoided putting oneself out there romantically since then.
I wrote a thousand songs about it
Expressed emotions and experiences through numerous songs.
All the cliches about safes and keys, my heart on my sleeve
Incorporated cliches about vulnerability into songwriting.
Live in notebooks nobody will ever read
Kept personal thoughts in private notebooks.
I hope these songs find their way to somebody like me
Hopes that the songs resonate with someone going through similar struggles.
Stop showing up to places late
Advised against being consistently late and urged punctuality.
Now and then go on a date
Suggested occasional dating and being open to new experiences.
Love can be a scary thing
Acknowledged the fear associated with love.
But it's a drink, not a diamond ring
Emphasized that love is a casual experience, not a serious commitment.
I've lived through every one of my worst days
Endured and survived through the most challenging days (repeated).
I still cry every year on my birthday
Continues to feel emotional on each birthday (repeated).
Loving myself? I'm still learning
Struggling with self-love and still in the process of learning (repeated).
While the world just keeps on turning
Observing life's constant changes despite personal struggles (repeated).
And it goes round and round and round
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of life's challenges.
And round and round and round and round
Highlighting the repetitive nature of life's ups and downs.
Round and round
Emphasizing the cyclic nature of life's challenges (repeated).
