Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I looked into my mornin' mirror
And it revealed some things to me
That I had not been able to see
I saw someone that I'm not sure I want to be
And empty lonely face was staring back at me
[Verse 2]
All and all, I would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day
[Verse 3]
The afternoon was slow in coming
I drug myself outside the face
That people that I knew would be there
And though they walked along pretending not care
I knew behind my back, they'd point and laugh and stare
[Verse 4]
All and all, I would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day
[Verse 5]
And now the evening shadow's falling
I guess it's best I lay my hopes to rest
For no one's callin' my name
I sit and wait behind the door that's never knocked on
I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on
[Verse 6]
All and all, I would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day
[Verse 7]
All and all, I would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 8]
All and all, I would have to say
It's been a rather dismal day
