Story Behind The Song

To put it simply: a loss that haunted me until I could do nothing else but write about it.

Song Description

The essential theme of this song is the question "WHY" The chorus doesn't answer the question but encourages the one whose lost so much to try and move on and just take one moment at a time. Just get through another day and after that another. That's the only thing we can do when something has been taken away from us without explanation.

Lyrics

Get Through Another Day



Why do I feel this way?
Why was it taken away
I'm living in the past,
Trying make something last
That's long gone
Why do I need to belong?
Why can't I be strong?
Why don't things work out
The way you think they should
The way you dreamed they would

So, I'll put on the mask
To hide this empty caste
And get through another day
That's what I'll do
Get through another day
Until I find my truth
Get through another day
Get through another day
Get through another day
Get through another day hey

Why do I have this need?
Why can't my soul be freed?
I'm tied by invisible binds
That keep my heart resigned to dream
Dream and get through another day
That's what I'll do
Get through another day
Until I find my truth
Try but I keep losing me grasp
Why resurrect the past
I've just got to start
to heal this wounded heart
To play another part

Maybe someday I'll be free
Someway
Maybe there's a place for me
Some say
God knows what we really need
If we just believe

So, I'll put on the mask
Try to forget the past
Just for another day
That's what I'll do
Get through another day until I find my truth
Get through another day
Get through another day
Get through another day
Get through another day
Get through
Get through
Get through another day
