The Day I Died

The Day I Died - Five for Fighting

I woke up

You next to me

You said Good Morning

Are you Free

The sun crept in

For one last time

I was alive the day I died

The clock struck noon

But did not care

I saw a child

In my old chair

A shadow fell across your face

But all the years

Could not erase

I was alive I was alive

You pulled me close

I held you tight

Though my smiles told a few lies

I was alive the day I died

I was the first to see a star

It seemed so close

It was so far

Wind started to roar

Screamed time to go

You know all you need

You need all you know

I was alive I was alive

You pulled me close

I held you tight

And though our smiles told a few lies

I was alive the day I died

Oh Sweet Angel you call

Oh Sweet Angel you call

Oh Sweet Angel

White went black

Black went white

Universe cracked

I saw the light

You called my name

I did not respond

But I heard you well

Carried you on

Midnight came and I was gone

The planet shrugged and moved along

A few people noticed and sang my songs

I was alive the day I died

I was alive the day I died
