Always Tuesday

Tuesday I woke up in a world turned upside down
Where nothing I'd ever do would amount to anything
Surrounded by the proof of all I've built up from the ground
As it came closin' in on me

The piles of clutter tumble down
The miles of wasted years you drowned in
I couldn't save you from your own mess
You didn't want to be saved
But I do

I can feel your pain
And mourn the chances you'd never take
I can honor you by vowing not to
Keep reliving your mistakes

I know it's what your truest self
Would want for me
The one that all my life
Was only lost to me

I can forgive you now
I can see inside your furrowed brow
It was always Tuesday

All the dreams you had, all the things you were just about to do
It was always someone else's fault you couldn't follow through
If I'm braver than you ever dared, it won't all be a waste
Even if it takes all I have to chase your rage away

Now your voice echoes back
Unlocking trunks I thought I'd unpacked
I still wither when I catch the ripples
Of the hateful things you'd say
But I won't

I can feel your pain
And mourn the chances you'll never take
I can honor you by vowing not to
Keep reliving your mistakes

I know it's what your truest self
Would want for me
The one that all my life
Was only lost to me

I can forgive you now
I can see inside your furrowed brow
It was always Tuesday

Tuesday I woke up in a world turned upside down
Down
Down
