Lyrics

Die a Little


Verse One

Your silence
It swallows me
Your empty heart
Is all I see
We're broken ... and I sigh a little

So foolish
What I have done
To squander the gift of your love
But you're gone ... and I'm dyin' ...

Chorus

Oh, I die a little every day
Yes I'm dyin'
'Cause livin' without you is just like dyin' a little every day

Verse Two

The reasons
Don't matter now
There's no comfort post-mortem for me
Yes I'm broken ... but I'm tryin ...

To take what you've given to me
But it's hard to move on 'cause you see ... I'm dyin ..

Chorus

I die a little every day
Yes I'm dyin'
'Cause livin' without you is just like dyin' a little every day

Bridge

Higher and higher I felt I could climb
While I had you close by my side
Suddenly shattered, my dream's at an end
Without you I feel like I'll die ... I'm dyin' ..

Lead guitar solo

Verse Three

My heart aches
So sad an end
But it's my love to you that I send
I'll take what you've given to me...
I'll fight thru this pain and you'll see ...
The man you believed I would be ... then I'll cry ..

I'll cry a little ...
And I'll die a little ...
