Lyrics
I’m holding on
Waiting for your call
It’s simple but I can’t explain this, (Verse 1)
I’m sinking down
I feel like I could die
I’m falling off I don’t know why
I still believe it when you say
It’s another perfect day, another perfect day. (Chorus)
I still believe it when you say
It’s another perfect day, another perfect day.
So I might try
To leave it all behind
I know tomorrows not so bright now, (Verse 2)
I’ll say goodbye
Cause nothing good can last
You wear and fade you’re nowhere fast.
Today
I don’t know how (Bridge 1)
To keep it all inside
But I guess I’ll let it slide
(Chorus)
Today
I don’t know why (Bridge 2)
I thought that it was real
But I guess it’s no big deal
(Chorus)
I don’t know how
I don’t know how (Outro)
I don’t know how
To let it slide
