I can't be what I want to be
Complacency has taken over me
I don't know if it's boredom or cowardice
I only solve my problems in fantasy

And my mother crying over our dilemmas
I've thought about so many things
That there's nothing left to think about
My head is empty

With so many people living in misery
And here I am lamenting with you all
I only talk about what I'm going to do
I can't do what I say

I only talk about what I'm going to do
I can't do what I say
I'm like most of the miserable people
I just live!

One day at a time
I just live!
One day at a time
I just live!

I've thought about so many things
That there's nothing left to think about
My head is empty
With so many people living in misery

And here I am lamenting with you all
I only talk about what I'm going to do
I can't do what I say
I only talk about what I'm going to do

I can't do what I say
I'm like most of the miserable people
I just live!
One day at a time

I just live!
One day at a time
I just live!
I only talk about what I'm going to do

I can't do what I say
I only talk about what I'm going to do
I can't do what I say
I'm like most of the miserable people

I just live!
One day at a time
I just live!
One day at a time
I just live!
