Tell me what to do
Now the light in my life is gone from me
Is it always the same
Is the night never ending
Tell me what to do
All the hopes and the dreams went wrong for me
There's a smile on my face
But I'm only pre-tending

Pre-Chorus

Taking my life
One day at a time
Cause I can't think what else to do 
Taking some time
To make up my mind
When there's no one to ask but you 

Chorus

The same old sun would shine in the morning
The same bright eyes would welcome me home
And the moon would rise way over my head
And get through the night a lone 
And the same old sun will shine in the morning
The same bright stars will welcome me home
And the clouds will rise way over my head
I'll get through the night on my

Verse 2

Tell me what to do
Now there's nobody watching over me
If I seem to be calm
Well it's all an il lusion
Tell me what to do
When the fear of the night comes over me
There's a smile on my face
Just to hide the con fusion

Pre-Chorus

Taking my life
One day at a time
Cause I can't think what else to do 
Taking some time
To make up my mind
When there's no one to ask but you 

Chorus

The same old sun would shine in the morning
The same bright eyes would welcome me home
And the moon would rise way over my head
And get through the night a lone 
And the same old sun will shine in the morning
The same bright stars will welcome me home
And the clouds will rise way over my head
I'll get through the night on my
