Today I Died For You

by Lost Without Her   May 28, 2007


Did you ever know how much I love you?
How you were my every thought,
My every breath, every beat of my heart was for you?

Did you ever know how your touch was like an old friend,
one I'd not seen for years?
How every caress was like being hit by lightning,
sending that shock straight to my heart?

Did you ever know how I'd die for you,
I'd surrender everything for you?
How I'd walk over hot coals and through burning buildings,
just to stand proudly at your side?

Did you ever know how much I wanted to love you,
to trust, believe and be everything for you?
How I'd bleed to love you,
hurt to kiss you?

Did you ever know how you killed me?
How one word shattered my heart and soul,
did you care that I knew before you said?

Did you know that I knew,
that you told me before you meant to?
Did you know that today I died for you?

Did you know that I hated you then,
on that November night?
As I tasted your passion,
felt you around me.
Did you know?

Did you know, that your taste on my lips,
poisoned my soul?
your kiss on my neck stopped my heart,
did you know?

Did you know I was the living dead?
Walking, talking, being,
but dying inside?
Did you know?

Did you know how I smiled and faked,
how my mind ran with darkness,
how I felt sick when you touched me,
did you know?

Did you know that when I said goodbye,
that I meant it, meant it forever.
Did you know that I knew,
when I got you that ring,
did you know?

Did you know that it came and I showed everyone I knew,
how when I looked at it, I hated loving you?
Did you know that when you called me,
said you were here,
that I fell in love with you again?

Did you know that I knew when you told me,
with tears in your eyes,
could you see that I already knew?

Did you know how you took my love and killed me with it,
did you know that you'd be my murderer?
Did you know, tell me, did you know?

And do you know what I am,
I'm the fool who can't stop loving you,
I'm the puppet you control.
Do you know I'm a shell now,
a broken, hollow shell?

Did you know that I loved no one but you,
did you know how I tried to find someone else,
did you know how that sealed my coffin,
when I said I wanted someone else?

Do you know that I died for you,
that I still die for you?
And do you know that I still love you?
