Lyrics
[verse 1]
tried to write some happy song
but those words feel so wrong
since I walked out and hit the open road
I’ve felt a bit depressed
and an excess of stress
trying to slam shut that door cause
[chorus]
it’s alright I cannot say
it’s alright maybe today
but if I can find a way to let go of yesterday
maybe tomorrow won’t be half as bad as now
[verse 2]
will I get this right?
I thought I knew someday I might
or will my every attempt end as a failure
still every day I try
they moved along so why can’t I?
why am I stuck in this place when
[chorus]
it’s alright I cannot say
it’s alright maybe today
but if I can find a way to let go of yesterday
maybe tomorrow won’t be half as bad as now
[bridge]
and even though I wish I hadn’t gone
I still know I, I had to move on
and so I reach out with one foot firmly in the past
trying not to move too fast
it’s alright I cannot say
it’s alright maybe today
it’s alright maybe today
it’s alright at least today
[chorus]
it’s alright I guess I’ll say
it’s alright for at least today
so I guess I found a way to let go of yesterday
maybe tomorrow won’t be half as bad as now
