IM OK I SWEAR
  Wake up refreshed
  On the right side of the bed
  Nothing but happy thoughts
  Running through my head
  Get ready for the day
  Whistling a happy song
  I know this feeling will stay
  Because nothing's wrong
  Ready for the day
  I walk out my door
  Perfect temperature
  After last nights downpour
  I walk out to my friends
  And give them a wave
  They look happy to see me
  And start their own days
  We start talking together
  About nothing at all
  We crack a few jokes
  About stories we recall
  This day started out perfect
  Just like all the other ones
  I know it'll get better
  I'll have so much fun
  Who cares if it's Monday?
  I have the whole week to look forward to
  This might be what my life looks like to you.
  
  Wake up depressed
  On the wrong side of the bed
  My head filled with bad thoughts
  Replaying last night in my head
  Get ready for the day
  Humming a song about pain
  I know this feeling will stay
  For there's nothing to gain
  Not ready for the day
  I stumble out the door
  Wishing there was some rain
  Left from last nights downpour
  I look out and see me friends
  I fake a smile And I knew
  That their smiles back
  Were artificial too
  We simply walk in silence
  Nothing to talk about
  We knew what each other was thinking
  Without a single doubt
  I know the day will get worse as it goes along
  I'll have to pretend to be happy so I at least belong
  Although you may not believe it this is my day
  Maybe you should think next time if I'm really ok
