The Day That I Died
I looked in the mirror at what I couldn’t hide
Tears that poured from my heart breaking inside
But I never noticed the tears that I cried
For I could feel nothing the day that I died
Looking through pictures, I had to confide
The pain of the feelings that I had denied
I tried to explain all the tears that I cried
But I could do nothing the day that I died
Seeing him standing there, hurting inside
I stood frozen, silent, across the divide
Stabbing a knife in my heart as I cried
But I could feel nothing the day that I died
Seeing their eyes as they questioned me, I’d
Answer them truthfully, but I lied
Wrapping myself in a cloak of my pride
I could feel nothing the day that I died
I looked in the mirror and now I decide
Cleansing my heart with the tears I had cried
Freeing myself from the bonds I had tied
I’ve never been stronger than when I had died
