One Day at a Time Lyrics

Waste away the afternoon
Feeling sorry for myself
Got a thousand things I need to do
But no motivation left

And all your letters
Are scattered across my bed
Every I love you underlined in Red
Lies remind me

Takin' it one day at time
Heavy come and heavier go
Tryin' to drink you off my mind
But I'm fallin' apart
One day at a time

Call you up but no one's home
I Guess your out been around the town
Any other Thursday night
I'd be right beside you just pourin' 'em down

Circle of friends hanging out at the city
Guess they all know now
How you broke my heart
Said I'm taking it hard

Livin' one day at a time
Heavy come and heavier go
Tryin' to drink you off my mind
But I'm fallin' apart
One day at a time

Really thought that I was gunna make you happy
I'm such a fool, such a fool
I let you in but I guess you didn't like what you see
Love is so cruel, love is cruel, ohhh

Dying' one day at a time
Heavy come and heavier go
Tryin' to drink you off my mind
But I'm fallin' apart
One day at a time, ohhh

One day at a time
One day at a time
One day at a time
One day at a time

I'm Not Gonna Cry

Waste away the afternoon
Feeling sorry for myself
Got a thousand things I need to do
But no motivation left

And all your letters
Are scattered across my bed
Every I love you underlined in Red
Lies remind me

Takin' it one day at time
Heavy come and heavier go
Tryin' to drink you off my mind
But I'm fallin' apart
One day at a time

Call you up but no one's home
I Guess your out been around the town
Any other Thursday night
I'd be right beside you just pourin' 'em down

Circle of friends hanging out at the city
Guess they all know now
How you broke my heart
Said I'm taking it hard

Livin' one day at a time
Heavy come and heavier go
Tryin' to drink you off my mind
But I'm fallin' apart 
One day at a time

Really thought that I was gunna make you happy
I'm such a fool, such a fool
I let you in but I guess you didn't like what you see
Love is so cruel, love is cruel, ohhh

Dying' one day at a time
Heavy come and heavier go
Tryin' to drink you off my mind
But I'm fallin' apart
One day at a time, ohhh

One day at a time
One day at a time
One day at a time
One day at a time

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's about a bad break-up. She tore his heart in two, but he's trying to get over her, one day at a time. I can relate to that very much.
