The second single off Liza Anne’s 2020 album Bad Vacation, Bummer Days sees her pondering her lack of knowledge about where to go next, and her own ability to make herself feel sad when she wants to feel good.
[Verse 1]
I say I wanna wake up with the dawn
But every night I sleep with the shades drawn
I keep telling my shrink I wanna feel okay
But I get off on all my bummer days
[Chorus]
I don't know what I want, but I know that I feel bad
And then when I feel good, I think I make myself sad
I wanna feel like I can get out of my own way
I'll stop crying at my party
I'm tired of feeling sorry
[Verse 2]
I've had about fifty last cigarettes
Before they're out, I have the next one lit
I spent the last two years in shoes that were too big
And if it's not my lungs, I'm gonna die because I trip
[Chorus]
I don't know what I want, but I know that I feel bad
And then when I feel good, I think I make myself sad
I wanna feel like I can get out of my own way
I'll stop crying at my party
I'm tired of feeling sorry
[Bridge]
There's always something that I'm doing
To keep me far from where I say I'm gone
I'll stop crying at my party
I'm tired of feeling sorry
I'll stop crying at my party
Because I'm tired
[Chorus]
I don't know what I want, but I know that I feel bad
And then when I feel good, I think I make myself sad
I wanna feel like I can get out of my own way
I'll stop crying at my party
I'm tired of feeling sorry
I'll stop crying at my party
I'm tired of feeling sorry

A May 2020 Paste Magazine article quotes Anne saying:
I started this song when I was visiting my parents in 2018. I was reading through old poems and journal entries and circling the drain of my own sorrow stories, which felt like a bit of a wake up call. I have all these ideas of what taking care...
