(VERSE 1)
I've spent these last days hoping
To replace the burnt out stars in this old crown
How much different than before
How much different is this soul within me now
---
(VERSE 2)
I woke today to nothing
In this stale and dim-lit room all alone
The smile came from memories
The tears cause I had nowhere left to go
---
(VERSE 3)
Caught in a haze of yesterdays
Hungover, half asleep, I couldn't know
That I'd soon weep for the better times
And the happiness I held so long ago
---
(CHORUS 1)
And I'm a little off today
It's slight but its still there
Like a mournful memory hidden in your past
And different is the way
That it seems so calm in here
And I wonder how much longer will this last
---
(VERSE 4)
I closed my eyes just seated there
And thought about a future I can't see
But you just can't cry everyday
And today is just an everyday for me
---
(VERSE 5)
If I could see myself
Through the eyes of myself when I was small
I knew that he'd know
That who I am he don't recognize at all
---
(VERSE 6)
Todays the day I realized
That it's been so long since times were not this bad
And that I hadn't lost a piece of me
No, I'd lost everything I ever had
---
(CHORUS 2)
And I've pulled myself away
From anyone who cared
And all those yesterdays just ain't coming back
And further are the days
And the memories we once shared
That have kept my woeful world from turning black
---
(GUITAR SOLO?)
---
(VERSE 7)
It had hit me all too quickly
That the joyful times in life are in my past
When I stepped into my finest suit
I knew today's bad day would be the last...
I've spent these last days hoping
To replace the burnt out stars in this old crown
How much different than before
How much different is this soul within me now
