| They’re the perfect loving family, so adoring
|
| And I love them every day of every week
|
| So my son’s a little odd, my husband’s boring
|
| And my daughter, though a genius, is a freak
|
| Still I help them love each other
|
| Father, mother, sisters, brother
|
| Cheek to cheek
|
| So it’s times like these I wonder how I take it
|
| And if other families live the way we do
|
| If they love each other or if they just fake it
|
| And if other daughters feel like I feel too
|
| Cause some days I think I’m dying
|
| But I’m really only trying to get through
|
| For just another day, for another stolen hour
|
| When the world will feel my power and obey
|
| It’s just another day, feeling like I’ll live forever
|
| Feeling like this feeling never goes away
|
| For just another day
|
| When it’s up to you to hold your house together
|
| A house you built with patience and with care
|
| But you’re grappling with that gray and rainy weather
|
| And you’re living on a latte and a prayer
|
| Can you keep the cup from tipping
|
| Can you keep your grip from slipping in despair
|
| For just another, in the hustle and the hurry
|
| You want to wipe you worry clean away
|
| For just another day, I will keep the plates all spinning
|
| With a smile so white and winning all the way
|
| Cause what doesn’t kill me doesn’t kill me
|
| So fill me up for just another day
|
| It only hurts when I breathe
|
| It only hurts when I try
|
| It only hurts when I think
|
| It only hurts when I cry
|
| It only hurts when I work
|
| It only hurts when I play
|
| It only hurts when I move
|
| It only hurts when I say
|
| It’s just another day (A dizzy, dizzy day)
|
| When the morning sun is starting
|
| I will hold it all together (And you wish that you were running far away)
|
| I will hide the nest away
|
| It’s just another day (I will survive another day)
|
| Birds are singing, figs are falling
|
| And I will pray to hold on just this day (And you wish you would be gone)
|
| But you’ll stay
|
| For my family’s sake (For you know it’s now or never)
|
| I’ll reap what I can take (And you know they’re gone forever)
|
| I’m only just awake
|
| Every day is just another and another and another
|
| I will hold it all together
|
| We’re the perfect loving family
|
| If they say we’re not then screw-'em
|
| The perfect loving family
|
| I will keep the plates all spinning
|
| And the world just keeps on spinning
|
| Uh, the house is spinning |
