Opening my eyes,
I could feel the familiar scent
Of the perfume in my bed
Of the sun that hits my skinEverything was always the same
I'm doing my simple routineI got out of bed
And drank a cup of tea
I plastered a smile
As I greet everyone around meI go to school and listen
I jot down notes
As if I understand and remember
All of thoseEverything was always the same
I'm doing my simple routineI would talk to my friends
And joke around them
Laughter was always with me
Even when I dreamI plastered a smile
All throughout the day
And wear that mask
Until I got homeI would jump in my bed
Hug the teddy beside me
And I would wonder
What I did to my dayI wonder why I'm here
How these things seemed unreal
And this hearts that beat
Feels like I don't own itBecause what I truly feel
Is something I cannot explain
I am always doing
My simple routine
Although my heart is not into itI don't know why
I don't know how
I don't know when
I started being like thisAnd now,
I'll just get some sleep
'Cause it is part of my simple routineAnd tomorrow,
I'd wake up doing the same
