[verse 1]
I saw your name light up a stranger's phone
Heard someone laugh the way you used to laugh with me
You're out there living like you're finally home
While i'm still learning how to let the mornings be
The sun came out, i know because they said so
I wouldn't know, i had the curtains drawn
You probably danced to something on the radio
Not knowing i was falling all night long
[pre-chorus]
And i don't blame you for being okay
I just hate how i can feel it
From this far away
[chorus]
Your good days are my worst days
The nights you sleep, i'm wide awake
Every time the world is kind to you
It finds a way to break me in two
I'm not asking you to suffer
I'm not asking you to stay
I just can't seem to get my weather right
When yours is finally okay
Your good days are my worst days
[verse 2]
I heard you took a trip, you looked like light
In the photograph i never should have seen
Your eyes were open like you'd won some fight
I didn't even know that we were competing
And i'm happy for the version of you
That doesn't need me anymore to breathe
But happiness for you tastes like the truth
That the best thing for you was to leave
[pre-chorus]
So, i sit with all this love i didn't lose
Just redirected to the ghost of you
[chorus]
Your good days are my worst days
The nights you sleep, i'm wide awake
Every time the world is kind to you
It finds a way to break me in two
I'm not asking you to suffer
I'm not asking you to stay
I just can't seem to get my weather right
When yours is finally okay
Your good days are my worst days
[bridge]
This isn't spite
This isn't even heartbreak anymore
It's something quieter
Like watching someone walk out through a door
Into a life i almost had a part in
Into a light i helped you find
And now you're living in the thing i started
And i'm still standing at the starting line
Maybe one day i'll be glad for you
Maybe i already am, a little
Maybe loving someone
Means you mourn them in the middle
Of their happiness
[final chorus]
Your good days are my worst days
And god i hope they multiply
Let it be good, even if i cry
I'm not asking you to suffer
I never wanted you to pay
I just need a little longer
Till your sunshine doesn't hurt this way
Your good days are my worst days
[outro]
(be happy...
Just give me time)
Go on, i'll catch up eventually, be happy
Your good days will be mine
