Day By Day
Stitch Rivet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do you ask for so much sorrow
And it hurts to make you cry again
Well, I'd hope we'd always be friends
It's hard to forfeit the past five years
I never took a vow without you dear
And it hurts when you bring up the past
'Cause our love burns out at last
But you could never deal with the way I live
Just take it day by day
I'm so sorry I don't feel the same
Just take it day by day
I'm so sorry so sorry for your pain for your pain
Lay this burden down
It'll chain you girl
And make you bound
I tried to set you free
You're beautiful
Just not for me
You ask me the same questions again and again
But you could never deal with the way I live the way I live
Just take it day by day
I'm so sorry I don't feel the same
Just take it day by day
I'm so sorry so sorry for your pain for your pain
And the answers you seek
You reject them
Tell me I'm crazy Get frustrated
I cant win I cant win
Just take it day by day
I'm so sorry I don't feel the same
Just take it day by day
I'm so sorry so sorry for your pain
for your misery
Please don't cry on me
Please don't cry on me
Please don't cry on me
Please don't cry on me
Just take it day by day
Yeah
Take it day by day
