"Day One" is the 7th single from my album, "Second Hand Smoke." It's about getting the toxic relationships out of your life--and how weirdly difficult that is to do. Lyrics and credits below:
Shaking your head, under your breath, you say this sh*t is no joke
You breathe in toxic people just like second hand smoke
Share a room long enough, you’re the one who’s gonna choke
Worst of all, you’ll think that it’s you
You call someone a cancer, that might not just be a line
You used to love to dance and not get headaches all the time
You used to shine
Do you remember?
Was that even you?
You should be asking
What would you need to know to leave?
What would you leave to need to know?
Maybe one day you’ll find out
Sometimes the only way forward is out
Maybe one day you’ll finally be done
Maybe one day it’ll be day one
Well, there are energy givers and energy takers
Confidence builders and confidence breakers
The hospital beds are filled with all of the makers
Who stuck with an a**hole too long
But it’s never too late, and it’s never too soon
It’s never that great when you start to assume
That you’re immune
That you can take it
Or worse that you can break it, ‘cause you won’t
What would you need to know to leave?
What would you leave to need to know?
Maybe one day you’ll find out
Sometimes the only way forward is out
Maybe one day you’ll finally be done
Maybe one day it’ll be day one
How much more can you take?
Why is this orbit so hard to break?
You think you can change it
But you know that’s a mistake
Why do you feel feel ashamed?
Does part of you still think you’re to blame
I’m not giving up, I’m letting go
