Mathew V - The Day I Die

I remember I could go to sleep at night
Lay down my head, lay down my mind
But I am older now and fear the tides have turned
I fear the tides have been unkind

There are times I know I can't be strong
They'll stay inside my head until I'm gone
And I'm still holding, holding, I still cry
I'm holding on until the day I die

I told myself that I would leave my past at bay
I saw it sailing out to sea
But I still wake each day and whisper to myself
It won't be sailing back to me

And there are times I know I can't be strong (I can't be strong)
They'll stay inside my head until I'm gone (and I'm still holding on)
And I'm still holding, holding, I still cry
I'm holding on until the day I die

Slowly, slowly time won't hold me down
And I will rise and leave my chains upon this bed, yeah

There are times I know I can't be strong
They'll stay inside my head until I'm gone
I pray I'll find a day to rest my head
I'm holding on until the day I die
