Even on my worst days

I closed the door, but I didn’t lock it
I kept the key in a secret closet
My guitars are in their folders
And my spirit is undercover 

Even on my worst days, I’ll still believe 
Some temporary things are for eternity 
For a homesick mind like this

New year, new songs, same storyline 
People keep asking if I will survive 
They don’t know all the assets in my hand 
Because I’m addicted to beat the game of life 

Even in my best days, I see perfectly
How you destroyed all my dignity
You came, you ruin me, then leave

The wedding flowers have already withered
and with them our last opportunities
All my strings are worn out 
And my voice got tired of lies out loud 

Even in my best days, I secretly 
Kept asking if I enjoy all the time I bleed 

My limits went down 
My knees were begging down 
Could someone hear me out? I scream out loud
