Today Was a Good Day
Today was a good day
But then I saw you and the goodness faded away,
The memories started to resurface and
The pain slowly wound its way up my body to my heart.
Today was a good day
Until you started to walk my way
Then fear crept its way into my mind
And my eyes became paralyzed
Forced to see the sight of you and everything I ever knew.
Today was a good day
But then thoughts of your touch clouded my mind
And my skin felt exposed,
My fingers fumbled for the combination
But it seemed to be erased from my mind with no explanation,
But then I saw, saw someone I knew.
So yeah today was a good day
But then seeing you all I could feel was heartbreak
Thank Gosh he came at break-neck speed
Because he saved me from being me.
With you all I felt was worry
But with him all I feel is joy
He taught me that it’s ok to suffer heartbreak
And to learn from my mistakes.
So when you try to break me
By asking how my day was,
I won’t cower or turn away
In fact I’ll even say…
Today was a good day.
