[Verse 1]
The pan is hot, I watch the oil spit
Think about putting my hand in it
Feeling something's better than numbness
Hey, now, babe, it ain't always like this

[Chorus]
But I have days (I have days)
I have days (I have days)
Days that look like mouths that just can't wait to spit me out
Yes, I have days (I have days)
Yes, I have days (I have days)
When everything out there is like a doorway to despair
Yes, I have days, days, days that I could do without
And I wonder which one's gonna take me down

[Verse 2]
On my block, I watch the children play
Chances are they'll feel like this one day
Innocence is just a bridge to pain
Hey, now, babe, it ain't always so grey

[Chorus]
But I have days (I have days)
I have days (I have days)
Days that look like mouths that just can't wait to spit me out
Yes, I have days (I have days)
Yes, I have days (I have days)
Oh, made up of the moments, on each one, it's like I'm choking
I have days, days, days that I could do without
And I wonder which one's gonna take me down
[Bridge]
Down, down, down, down, down (Do without)
Down, down, down, down, down
That's where I've always learned to pick myself up off the ground
Down, down, down, down, down

[Chorus]
But I have days (Oh)
Yes, I have days
Days that look like mouths that just can't wait to spit me out
Yes, I have days (I have days)
Yes, I have days (I have days)
When everything out there is like a doorway to despair
Yes, I have days (I have days)
Yes, I have days
Yeah, days that look like mouths that just can't wait to spit me out
Yes, I have days (I have days)
Yes, I have days
Made up of the moments, on each one, it's like I'm choking
I have days, days, days that I could do without
But I'll never, ever let 'em take me down
