These Days
Roxanne Leigh Lyrics

What if I said it's over?
What if I expressed that our relationship should end?

What if we said the words?
What if we vocalized our thoughts and feelings?

Would you hold me closer?
Would you stay close to me and support me?

Make this work?
Can we still try to fix things?

What if we find we're stunted?
What if we discover we're not progressing?

Familiar comfort gone
Our old sense of comfort is no longer there

All that we were abandoned
We've left behind what we used to be

All we are
We are now something different

These days, we're a little broken
Currently, we are somewhat fragmented

We're a jaded
We've grown tired and unimpressed with our surroundings

We're a little burnt, oh
We have some emotional exhaustion

These days, we're a little harder
Now we are more challenging

We're a little stronger,
We've grown a bit more resilient

But we're a little hurt
However, we still have some emotional pain

So maybe we should go back
Perhaps we should revisit past experiences

Remember when things were new
Recall when everything was fresh and exciting

When we were less distracted
When we had fewer things taking up our attention and focus

When we all knew the truth
When we were all on the same page

Before we all numbed ourselves
Before we all used coping mechanisms to avoid our true feelings

Before we knew it all
Before we thought we knew everything

When there was middle ground
When we could compromise and meet in the middle

And when we all stood...
And when we all stood together

And each and every single day
Each day, without fail

We'll learn to love the things we hate
We'll begin to appreciate things we previously disliked

We'll give a little more to us
We'll contribute a bit more to each other

We'll find a way back to love
We'll rediscover affection for one another

We'll not allow ourselves to fall
We'll prevent ourselves from failing

From each other's pedestals
From our high regard for each other

Discovering the little things
Recognizing the small details

Remembering the joy they bring
Recollecting the happiness they evoke

These days we're all wasting time
Recently, we've all been engaged in pointless activities

We're all walking blind
We're all moving forward without clarity or direction

Embrace a brand new day
Welcome a fresh start

Or walk away
Or choose to abandon this situation

Or walk away
Or decide to disengage

Or walk away
Or opt to leave

Or walk away
Or elect to depart

These days, we're a little broken
Presently, we are somewhat fragmented

We're a jaded
We've grown tired and unimpressed with our surroundings

We're a little burnt oh
We have some emotional exhaustion

These days, we're a little harder
Now we are more challenging

We're a little stronger
We've grown a bit more resilient

But we're a little hurt
However, we still have some emotional pain

We're a little hurt.
We still have some emotional pain
