 They're  the perfect loving family, so adoring
 And  I love  them every day of every week
 So my son's  a little shit, my husband's boring
 And  my  daughter, though a genius, is a freak
 Still  I help them love each other
 Father  mother sister brother
 Cheek  to cheek
 So  it's  times like these I wonder how I take it,
 And  if  other families live the way we do.
 If they  love each other or if they just fake it,
 And  if other  daughters feel like I feel too.
 Cause  some days I think I'm dying,
 But  I'm  really only trying to get through
 For  just  another  day,
 for  another  stolen  hour
 When  the  world  will  feel  my power and obey
 It's  just another  day
 Feeling like  I'll live forever
 Feeling  like  this feeling never goes away
 For just  another day.
 When  it's  up to you to hold your house together
 A house  you  built with patience and with care
 But  you're  grappling with that gray and rainy weather
 And you're  living on a latte and a prayer
 Can  you keep the cup from tipping
 Can you  keep  your  grip from slipping in despair,
 For  just  another  day,
 In  the hustle  and the hurry
 And  you want  to wipe your  worry clean away
 It's just  another day
 I will keep  the  plates all spinning
 With  a smile  so white  and winning all the way
 Cause  what doesn't kill me doesn't kill me
 So fill  me up for just another day.
 It only  hurts when I breathe.
 It only hurts when I try.
 It  only hurts when I think.
 It  only hurts when I cry.
 It only  hurts when I work.
 It only  hurts when I play.
 It only  hurts when I move.
 It only  hurts  when I say,
 It's  just  another day
 When  the  morning  sun is stunning
 And you  wish  that you were  running far away
 It's  just another  day
 Birds  are  singing,  things are growing
 And you  wish you could be going,
 But  you'll stay
 You'll  stay
 For my family's sake
 I'll reap what I can take
 I'm only just awake
 Every  day is  just another  and another and another
 I will  hold  it all together
 We're  the perfect  loving family
 If they say we're  not then fuck 'em
 The  perfect  loving family
 I will  keep the plates all spinning
 And the world just keeps on spinning
I  think the house is spinning.
