Today Could Have Been a Better Day
Today could have been a better day.
There is nothing wrong with singing a song,
As long as the words are right.
When all is said and nothing’s done,
Just start again and set alight,
The wishes that you used to have.
Ain’t got no bag so full of beans.
No way to learn everything.
I’ve got to fly through the night air or be unseen.
If all you say is meaningless, then just get out.
I’m out of breath to waste on dreams.
All you think, you only ever said out loud,
I never wanted you to speak;
So drop the act and leave,
Because all these pretty things you say,
Are only said in jest, with hate.
No malice left to fight for peace.
I’m all used up inside.
No masterpiece will ever be produced.
All the pointless things I do,
Are only to annoy you and all you do is take my time.
You waste my time, with only lies, on Valentines.
You talk of love and I’m left in stitches;
Side splitting jokes about your kisses.
Nothing ever makes me smile,
So pack a bag and leave here, I’ll,
Find myself a way to misbehave.
A way to get away from all you say
And I will find a better way to say,
Today could have been a better day.
