Down For A While Lyrics by Mark Thomas

Down For A While EP

2017

Every day I wake up knowing it's a better day
You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains
I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain

That's why every day I wake up knowing it's a better day
You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while
I ain't been down for a while

I had my back against the wall
Nights, I was alone
I was going through it all
Didn't let nobody know
Mama said "Keeps your spirits high
Never fall for the bad vibes
People gonna try and bring you down
But you can't let 'em bring you down"

Nights like this I wish I had my friend with me
The only person that can understand me
If I could bring him back today
I'd tell him everything her can be
Protect him from negative energy

Every day I wake up knowing it's a better day
You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains
I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain

That's why every day I wake up knowing it's a better day
You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while
I ain't been down for a while

Sometimes I didn't fit in
Because I stood out
They would make me feel bad for
Me just being myself
Mama say "You can never fail
Long as you love yourself
They can lower your vibe
Long as you stay flying high"

Nights like this I wish I had my friend with me
The only person that can understand me
If I could bring him back today
I'd tell him everything her can be
Protect him from negative energy

Every day I wake up knowing it's a better day
You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains
I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain

That's why every day I wake up knowing it's a better day
You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while
I ain't been down for a while

What's up, guys, it's Mark here
I know you guys are probably having some bad days
But just know life always gets better
And you have to get up, and make it a good day
And smile, and help others
Just look forward to it, and stay positive
Love you guys

Every day I wake up knowing it's a better day
You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains
I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain

That's why every day I wake up knowing it's a better day
You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while
I ain't been down for a while
