Woke up with the sun but my head's in the night

Every step forward feels like a fight

Chasing the shadows that run from my light

I try

I try

I try too hard

Building castles out of broken shards

What am I doing wrong

What am I doing right

Why does the day feel like the night

What am I doing wrong

I keep holding on

To something that’s already gone

I smile at the mirror but it just won’t stay

It fades like a dream when you wake halfway

Counting the cracks

Tracing my own decay

I push

I pull

I fall apart

Stitching seams over my broken heart

What am I doing wrong

What am I doing right

Why does the day feel like the night

What am I doing wrong

I keep holding on

To something that’s already gone
