[PRINCE SHAAN]

I DIED A DEATH

I died a death but stayed alive
In phantom's likeness I survive

Alive, yet dead, I walk alone
In rooms with walls as cold as stone

I lived a life and dreamed a dream
And loved the life you lived with me

Then in the whisper of a breath
You left, and then I died a death

Though dead I live, I cannot part
From love that lives within my heart

Within my sorrow I must strive
To keep my hope and faith alive

For all the love that I would give
I surely would prefer to live

To be content, not to survive
But feel my spirit come alive

You slowly took your final breath
'Twas me, my dear, who died a death
