Day by Day

[Verse 1]
Say goodbye to autumn leaves
Dust the ashes from my sleeve
Oh, sweet serenity
Won't you sing to me a melody
Of what used to be, of what used to be

[Refrain]
Why can't we take this day by day?

[Chorus]
I'm done holding on
To everything that's killing me
Look me in the eyes and say it's over
I know I said I'd never let you down
There's not a day that I don't blame myself
Don't blame myself

[Verse 2]
Can you practice what you preach?
Because your words ain't killing me
Oh, crippling reality
What's in store for me, except sweet misery?

[Pre-Chorus]
You paint me into the color of these walls
No escaping, your voice is in these halls

[Chorus]
I’m done holding on
To everything that’s killing me
Look me in the eyes and say it’s over
I know I said I'd never let you down
There's not a day that I don’t blame myself

[Post-Chorus]
Why can't we take this day by day?
Why can't we take this day by day?
Why can't we take this day by day?
Why can't we take this day by day?

[Bridge]
I'm done holding on to everything that's killing me
Look me in the eyes and say it's over

[Chorus]
I'm done holding on
To everything that's killing me
Look me in the eyes and say it's over

[Verse 3]
Oh, sweet serenity
Won't you sing to me a melody
Of what used to be, of what used to be?

[Outro]
Why can't we take this day by day?
Why can't we take this day by day?
Why can't we take this day by day?
Why can't we take this day by day?
