So your days have gone to waste
and you can't get out of bed
Well, the door is always open
for when you're feeling bad
Let me hold your troubles
put 'em all to rest
Just come to me, rely on me instead

Your whole body's none-responsive
and it hurts too much to move
You don't wanna face the mirror
Think your eyes tell you the truth

While the sunlight's getting nearer
to give you your morning blues
as you lie awake and wonder
Why it's happening to you

So your days have gone to waste
and you can't get out of bed
Well, the door is always open
for when you're feeling bad
Let me hold your troubles
put 'em all to rest
Just come to me, rely on me instead

You've been sleeping many hours
Still you wake up all burned out
You're feeling so exhausted
everything feels upside down

Why does no one have the answer
to turn it all around
All the silver lining's gone
now you're left with all the clouds

Getting up's your daily struggle
Pull the sheets over your head
You feel nothing's worth to live for
no one really understands

While you're feeling so indifferent
can't be bothered making plans
I blame the one who threw the stone
then tries to hide their hand

So your days have gone to waste
and you can't get out of bed
Well, the door is always open
for when you're feeling bad
Let me hold your troubles
put 'em all to rest
Just come to me, rely on me instead

MOTIVATION

The chorus for this was written in October 2011 when during Skype sessions the moments of my fiancée being completely burned out on everything happened more and more often. Her body often didn't work with her, having a very sore back or waking up with a headache and this resulting in her not wanting to do anything. Add the constant bitching of her mom to this and you'll end up feeling like wanting to sleep all the time.

She also stopped talking to me, feeling it was all useless, and yet I sat on the other side of the world feeling helpless. She claimed I didn't understand or know what was going on yet it was very obvious when looking at her.

I finished and rewrote the song in late June, early July 2012 and recorded this song 2 other times, but none of them felt right. There's a slow one with just me on guitar, there's a rocker which was nearly finished yet I didn't think it was right either, and I felt stuck until one day I walked out of the bathroom singing the first line in a different key, and then thinking "that's it!". And that's the version I recorded and uploaded. I'm very satisfied with the end result, it describes the feeling of me seeing her like that quite well. No energy, completely drained and just burned out on all the drama in her life, yet failing to get a grip on things.

EXPLANATION

"I blame the one who threw the stone then tries to hide her hand" refers to her parents starting a massive fight and then blamed me for all the drama in their daughters life. Her daughter kept wishing she'd no longer have to live with her parents anymore due to not being able to deal with all the negativity coming from her mom and her dad just being invisible during such moments. She wanted a way out, but her mom and dad both made sure that she'd not get one.
