Seven Days Lyrics

Seven Days - Rosendale

...

I met her on the internet

A tender mom of two

Sent emails back and forth

A couple photos too

And she could tell that I was hurt

She saw my frozen smile

Asked what was going wrong

So I wrote with teary eyes

I lie here in my bed

So no one else can see

The monster that I have become

A sad anomaly

I think my mind is broken

I don't doubt I'm unhinged

I fell deep into darkness

Now my weeks are looking grim

The first day cuts me to the bone

The second leaves a bruise

The third day I wish I was dead

The fourth day I'm confused

And when the fifth and sixth day come

I've got no damn to give

But the seventh day still comes around

And I go through it all again

I thought I might have scared her off

Went days with no reply

Weeks later she responded

To my own surprise

She said it's okay I've been there too

It's just a part of life

I fell deep into darkness but

Somehow I still survived

She said

The first year cut me to the bone

The second left a bruise

And dark thoughts clouded up my mind

The third and fourth years too

But when the fifth and sixth years came

I saw a little light

In seven years you'll realize

Sometimes it just takes time

To be honest since we talked

I'm not much better yet

But maybe that's all just because

I'm only a few years in

But her words reside deep in my mind

Like echoes in the well

So when the week gets difficult

I try to tell myself

The first day cuts me to the bone

The second leaves a bruise

The third day I'm so over it

The fourth day I'm confused

But when the fifth and sixth day pass

I might see sparks of hope

I strive to keep on living

Seven days a week so I'll know
