  • I've been waiting for a good day
    I've been holding back long enough
    I've been hurting to tell you some things

    It's not the falling of the temperature
    That's making all our bones run cold
    It's the breeze you make
    The presence felt when you're around me

    And it feels like
    I'm at an all-time low

    [Chorus]
    Slightly bruised and broken
    From our head on collision
    I've never seen this side of you
    Another tragic case of feeling
    Bruised and broken
    From our head on collision
    I've never seen this side of you
    Another tragic case

    And I'm still
    Waiting for a good day
    I think I've held this long enough
    I think it's safe to tell you some things

    It's not just what you say to people
    And it's not the way you look at me
    It's the way you present yourself
    For all your worst critics to see

    And it feels like
    I'm at an all-time low

    [Chorus]

    Then you were gone
    (You were gone)
    All this time
    You just didn't know it yet
    (You were gone)
    All this time
    You just didn't know it yet
    You were gone

    And it feels like
    (Feels like)
    I'm at an all-time low

    [Chorus]

    Another tragic case of feeling
    (Bruised and broken)
    Another tragic case and I've been
    (Still waiting for a good day)
    Still waiting for a good day Writer/s: CHAD EVERETT GILBERT, CYRUS WILLIAM BOLOOKI, IAN R. GRUSHKA, JORDAN I. PUNDIK, STEPHEN LEE KLEIN
