Talked to some strangers today
Walked around the park
Took time to meditate
Call it a redemption arc
Went to the bar today
And flirted with a cute guy
Now we're planning our first date
Can't stop thinking about his eyes
While I wished I did it by myself
I could not admit needing help
So in your office I'll lie
As you probe me about my life, and I
I'm taking my life back, one day at a time
No need to feel bad, 'cause baby, I'll be fine
I'm taking my life back, ain't it bittersweet?
'Cause I'm sick and tired of the misery
I'm taking my life back, one day at a time
No need to feel bad, 'cause baby, I'll be fine
I'm taking my life back, ain't it bittersweet?
'Cause I'm sick and tired of the misery
(Oh, man)
Got my diet in check
And the tablets should help too
Feeling some side effects
But it's nothing I can't push through
Value the little things
Even if they're hard to see
Small wins and victories
Are so much bigger to me
While I wished I did it by myself
I'm glad I admitted needing help, 'cause well
I'm taking my life back, one day at a time
No need to feel bad, 'cause baby, I'll be fine
I'm taking my life back, ain't it bittersweet?
'Cause I'm sick and tired of the misery
(Oh, man)
I'm taking my life back, one day at a time (One day at a time)
No need to feel bad, 'cause baby, I'll be fine (I'll be fine)
I'm taking my life back, ain't it bittersweet? (Ain't it bittersweet?)
'Cause I'm sick and tired of the misery
(Oh, man)
(It's never that easy)
Is it my turn to speak again with you?
I'm bleeding from the mouth and turning blue
Our session is scheduled for Friday night
But it's an emergency so stay on the line
The pills you prescribed aren't treating me well
I haven't slept in days, and if you couldn't tell
My mood is lower than what I can measure
I hate to say it, but I'm worse than ever
My waist is shrinking at a scary rate
I didn't even know I could lose more weight
Affirmations, exercise, meditation, eating right
Taking pills, therapy, supposed to make me happy
But it didn't work out (It'll never work out)
It'll never work out (It'll never work out)
Fuel my self doubt (It'll never work out)
It'll never work out (It'll never work out)
It's not worth the energy
Or a different melody
I need to take my life back one day at a time
Until I'm happy, until I'm happy
But is this who I truly am?
Or am I just a charlatan?
On the off chance that I'm a fraud
When is it my turn to speak again?
