They say
wake up in the morning one more time
Here's your chance, do it right
Coffee stains my counter, I don't mind
cause it's my life.
It doesn't have to shine.
They say
dress yourself up nice it's almost nine
I know it's early when you've been up all night
Coffee burns my mouth but I don't mind
At least I know where
the pain is coming from this time.
I'll write in my diary like a little girl
I'll keep it all quiet, I won't say a word
No no, it's fine, another day, I'm getting by
I'll read all the books on how to fix myself
But until that day comes, I'll let the books fill my shelves
No no, it's fine, another dance, I've memorized
Another day, it's just another dance
Nothing seems to change, it's the same old count of 8
Another day, it's just another dance
If I don't break routine they won't see what's underneath
So I'll wake up in the morning one more time
Here's my chance to do it right
Now the keys are turning, car is starting up
I won't be late, case the questions wouldn't stop
I'll paint a smile on my face with all the detail that I can
Let the coffee burn my tongue before I go walking in.
