Dear god it's raining today
I'm tired today, the rain keeps flowing like the tears down my face today
I tried today
I wanted to give up again today
Wanted to be accepted
Understood for just today
I'm here but didn't want to wake up today
I'm restless a lot more than usual
I didn't do it right again today
I wanted to be happy
I didn't do enough today
Yesterday is gone but
My feelings aren't today
I slept too much today
Didn't want to feel this today
Thought it would go away last night
I would cry one more time to see
Everyone smile today
Would do anything to feel peace today
Would give life to a person in need today
Would hold back the tears if I could
Would've taken away someone's fears if I could
Dear god I tried today
The best I could today
Felt dead inside today
Like a part of me was swept away
Like my life was taken from my body today
I love my family today
Didn't want to leave them today
I was let down today
Once again today
Held on to a string today
Got lost in life again today
I don't think I could do this again tomorrow
Don't want to feel that pain
Don't want to cry tears that match
The heavy rain outside today
But I did it today
I lost it all today
Would give up more to see them smile everyday
Would tell my dad I love him
I would do it all over again
For him today
Would tell my mom I love her today
Tell her she's beautiful in every way
Wish I could make her proud someday.
