Oh, and sometimes,
The most beautiful pain in life
Is the kind you can't disguise or hide.
Oh, and the hard truth about life,
If I'm not allowed to give up on mine,
You are not allowed to not even try.

One day at a time
You'll have to remake the same decision as the one I made last night.

[Chorus:]
You and I have already started to die.
And now that I understand why, I've never felt quite so alive.
And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times,
But for the record I’ve found the reason for mine.

Oh, and sometimes,
We need to find a reason for the pain in our own lives.
Oh, Mine was you,
And I promise this song is a place for the truth.
We can’t keep hiding and hurting,
Oh, I know, I’ve tried to.

Oh, one day at a time
We just might have to remake the decision every day for the rest of life.

[Chorus:]
You and I have already started to die.
And now that I understand it, I've never felt quite so alive.
I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times,
And for the record I’ve found the reason for mine.

And for the record,
I'm in California, still writing one day at a time.
And for the record,
I refuse to be ashamed of all my scars,
You and I are both the same.

We've already cheated death so many times.
If we’re going to die, why not cheat it again tonight?

[Chorus:]
You and I have already started to die.
And now that I understand why, I've never felt quite so alive.
And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times,
And for the record I’ve found the reason for mine.
