Daniel Powter – Bad Day Lyrics 20 years ago
To me this song sounds more like it’s about the artist and her works, then romance of any kind. The reference to “they” may have meant the artworks, Artworks can always show the change in thought or life style of their creator. It all really sounds like a gallery opening or something, and the artist isn’t quite happy with her works for that day, and because of stress this could make it worse.

“Cause you had a bad day, you’re taking one down” –could be referring to a picture the artist created

“You say you don’t know, you tell me don’t lie” –Asking for the honest opinion on what they had created.

“So where is the passion when you need it the most, you kick up the leave and the magic is lost” –The inspiration that they wanted was never realised.

“Well you need a blue sky holiday, the point is they laugh at what you say” –Asking for time off, the higher person saying no.
