7-1 Lyrics by Burning Embers

Days Well Spent (Deluxe)

2023

[Intro]
I'm hurt 7 days a week
And 6 days that I can't speak
5 times you say you love me
But there's 4 times more of hate
I made you promise 3 things
But 2 of those you'd break
The only 1 you kept for me
Was you'd cause all of my pain

[Verse]
And I said, one day you'd leave me
Maybe it was my fault but I knew you wouldn't stay
And you said, it's time for you to grow up
So I left home for a few months just to show you I could change

[Chorus]
Oh why try?
When I can't fight
To keep you here forever
Cause I got nothing right
I'm not alright
Cause you're okay
Start counting down from 7
To 1 day in my grave

[Verse]
And you said, I want to get out of this place
And you said, i want to get out of this town
And I said, I'm not gonna stop you
Then I watched you board the plan
Fly into the sky so blue, wishing I could go with you

[Chorus]
Oh why try?
When I can't fight
To keep you here forever
Cause I got nothing right
I'm not alright
Cause you're okay
Start counting down from 7
To 1 day in my grave

[Chorus]
Oh why try?
When I can't fight
To keep you here forever
Cause I got nothing right
I'm not alright
Cause you're okay
Start counting down from 7
To 1 day in my grave
