Don’t ask me why
I don’t wipe these dark clouds
From my eyes.

Don’t ask me why
I keep on playing
These sad songs inside.

I’m not like this always,
I know who I am.
I have the right
To one bad day.

I have the right to a bad day,
To hide away and drift away.
I have the right to a bad day,
To disappear inside my pain.

I don’t need pity,
Most don’t feel it at all.
I don’t need your cheering,
Most cheers are false.

They want to see me fall,
And now they might smile.
‘Cause today I’m broken,
Like I’ve never been before.

I’m not like this always,
I know who I am.
I have the right
To one bad day.

I have the right to a bad day,
To hide away and drift away.
I have the right to a bad day,
To disappear inside my pain.

It won’t last forever,
I’ll rise again.
But tonight, let me feel it,
Let me break, let me bend.

I have the right to a bad day,
To hide away and drift away.
I have the right to a bad day,
To disappear inside my pain.
