Everyday - Toby Lightman

Every day is a struggle

Between what I want to say and what I want to keep to myself

And the words that manage to leave my lips

Don’t hurt me, but they hurt everyone else

So I find myself in need of a pause

I’m not sure why, but I think that it’s because

Of this desire to be what others want me to be

Which is nothing close to me

But I’ll see better when the smoke clears

The smoke clears inside my head

And I can listen when the screaming doesn’t repeat everything I’ve said

And all that remains me and who I am at the end of the day

And this happens every day … yeah…

Every day is a battle

Between what I want to know and what I don’t want to figure out

And everything in between in these thoughts of mine that you know I can’t live

with out

So I find myself in need of a pause

I’m not sure why, but I think that it’s because

Of this desire to be what others want me to be

Which is nothing close to me

But I’ll see better when the smoke clears

The smoke clears inside my head

And I can listen when the screaming doesn’t repeat everything I’ve said

All that remains me and who I am at the end of the day

And this happens every day … yeah… oooh…

But I’ll see better when the smoke clears

The smoke clears inside my head

And I can listen when the screaming doesn’t repeat everything I’ve said

All that remains me and who I am at the end of the day

And this happens every day … this happens every day

This happens every day… yeah…
