[Intro] [Verse 1] Woke up before the alarm, sunlight through the blinds Coffee on the counter, finally feeling fine No weight on my shoulders, no ghosts in my room Just a quiet little morning with nothing to lose Took the long way driving, windows halfway down Found a little peace in the middle of this town Everybody says I'm looking better these days Guess I finally learned how to smile the right way [Pre-Chorus] And I swear... I swear I don't miss yesterday I swear... I finally found my place [Chorus] This is my perfect day Nothing breaking, nothing changing Everything I wanted finally came my way I got everything I prayed for Standing right here in my doorway Yeah this is my perfect day [Verse 2] Old friends say they barely recognize me Guess that's what happens when you stop fighting silently I got a new routine and a reason to breathe A picture-perfect life everybody wants to see But there's a crack in the mirror I don't talk about A voice in my head that I keep drowning out Every night when the noise fades away I wonder who I am when nobody's watching me fake [Pre-Chorus] And I swear... I swear I'm finally okay But why does okay Feel so far away? [CHORUS - MUSIC FRACTURE] [Beat drops out, vocal becomes darker] This isn't my perfect day It's just the best disguise I ever made I painted over every scar And called the damage a change I told everybody I was healed I told myself I was too But the hardest person to fool Was always me [Bridge] [Full band enters] I don't need another picture I don't need another lie I don't need another reason To pretend I'm alright I've been chasing a version Of someone I used to be But the person in the mirror Has been begging me to see [FINAL CHORUS] [Explosive] This was never my perfect day It was a mask I couldn't break I was holding up a smile While I was falling underneath the weight Now I'm done pretending That I don't feel what I feel This is the first time in forever That I've actually been real [FADE-OUT: Perfect, to silence] This is my perfect day... Because I finally stopped.. lying... ... to myself [END] to myself
