[Verse 1]
Well my manager rang he said I hate to break the news
But the label called today they said they have to cut you loose
I felt broken like a vase that'd fallen from the roof
Tears rolling down my face lord what am I to do

[Chorus]
I felt pain in my life so far
A fractured wrist and a broken heart
But this is sure to leave a nasty scar, one that might not heal
So I said
This is the worst day of my life
It's the worst, it's the worst day of my life
And I don't know how I'll survive
It's the worst, it's the worst day of my life
I'll admit it's a struggle
Finding light in the tunnel
This is the worst day of my life
It's the worst it's the worst day
Of my life

[Verse 2]
Well I gave up my degree and I moved away from home
I was following my dream now there's nowhere I can go
So I called up my mom and I was bawling on the phone
I was acting like a child but I was all the way grown

[Chorus]
I felt pain in my life so far
A fractured wrist and a broken heart
But this is sure to leave a nasty scar, one that might not heal
So I said
This is the worst day of my life
It's the worst, it's the worst day of my life
And I don't know how I'll survive
It's the worst, it's the worst day of my life
I'll admit it's a struggle
Finding light in the tunnel
This is the worst day of my life
It's the worst it's the worst day
Of my life

[Verse 3]
So I thought to myself that now is time to choose
I can pick myself up or I can give in to the blues
So I swore in my heart that I was never gonna lose
I would crawl until I made it cause I got something to prove

[Chorus]
I felt pain in my life so far
A fractured wrist and a broken heart
But this is sure to leave a nasty scar, one that might not heal
So I said
This is the worst day of my life
It's the worst, it's the worst day of my life
And I don't know how I'll survive
It's the worst, it's the worst day of my life
I'll admit it's a struggle
Finding light in the tunnel
This is the worst day of my life
It's the worst it's the worst day
Of my life

Alec Benjamin

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned on a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.

Benjamin connects to listeners by incorporating using his life struggles to tell stories and give meaning to his songs. You can see this in “Let Me Down Slowly,” “Paper Crown,” “I Built a Friend,” “Death of a Hero,” and “If We Have Each Other.”
