The Day You Died Lyrics

What would I do
If I didn't affect you
Merry go round
And round and round
Tell me the truth
I know that you're leaving
Tell me the truth
I know it's you

Strange it didn't affect me
Strange it didn't affect me
Oh
Stay
Signal to your heart
We got nothing at all

What should I do
It completely destroyed you
Swimming around
Around and drown
Tell me the truth love
I know that you need me
Tell me the truth
I know it's you

Strange it didn't affect me
Strange it didn't affect me

I don't care to say goodbye
'Cause I'm feeling nothing
Signal to your heart
We've got nothing at all

'Cause even if you wanna try
To see if there's something
A driver to your heart
We've got nothing at all

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The worst feeling is breaking apart from someone only to realize you didn't have the relationship you thought you did. You want the other person be hurt, yourself to feel pain but sometimes there is a void of emotion...enough it isn't even worth a goodbye. Amazing song on an amazing album...

Sometimes a relationship has been broken so many times, that there is nothing at all left. Some people are just numb and unwilling to feel or change. It sounds like she was trying to help the other person or get something out of them. But even if you 'drove into their heart' you get nothing at all. Sad, but really love the song and the emotion Sarah's sings with at the end of the song. Has a lot of meaning for me.
