This Day and Next by Melodie Yvonne
Time drags on forever in this lonely time and next
No matter how I’m trying I still feel like I’m a mess
And I just keep on thinkin’ ‘bout the seconds I got left
Wishin’ I could give up hopin’ so it’d hurt a lil less
Wishin’ I could give up hopin’ so it’d hurt a lil less
Wishin’ I could give up thinkin’ ‘bout you all this day and next
Wishin’ I could just be near you, but my every answer’s yes
And I just don’t wanna know you so it’d hurt a little less
I just don’t wanna know you so it’d hurt a little less
I wish that I could take back all these feelings I got left
Time drags on forever in this lonely time and next
And no matter how I’m trying I still feel like I’m a mess
I know I don’t deserve you ‘cause I’m just a piece of shit
And everywhere I go but you I’m really fakin’ it
But every time I see you my heart falls outside my chest
Wishin’ I could give up hopin’ so it’d hurt a little less
Wishin’ I could give up hopin’ so it’d hurt a lil less
Wishin’ I could give up thinkin’ ‘bout you all this day and next
Wishin’ I could just be near you, but my every answer’s yes
And I just don’t wanna know you so it hurts a little less
