[Verse 1]
Dear diary, what a day it's been
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream
Woke up too late; wasn't where I should have been
For goodness sake what's happening to me
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
[Verse 2]
It was cold outside my door
So many people by the score
Rushing around so senselessly
They don't notice there's people like me
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
[Verse 3]
They don't know what they're playing
They've no way of knowing what the game is
Still they carry on doing what they can
Outside me, yours truly, dear diary
[Verse 4]
It's over; will tomorrow be the same?
I know that they're really not to blame
If they weren't so blind then surely they'd see
There's a much better way for them to be
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary
[Interlude]
