lyrics

What will it be like when they hear i died
Will the sun come out will the rain subside
Will anyone know will my best friends post
About how kind i was or what they hated the most
Will the world blink an eye on the day i die

What will you be like when you hear i died
Will your heart be broken or just beat in time
Will you cry so hard that your eyelids crack
Or will go about your day after hashtag sad
Will you cover your eyes when they tell you i died

Something’s not right in the sky tonight
Something’s gone wrong with the plan
The stars are too close and the window’s cracked
The chill takes my bones and it breaks my back
Sets me down again, sets me down again

So this is what it’s like the day after i die
Everything’s the same even stars in the sky
The sun comes up and the moon goes down
Everyone is meeting up all over town
Like any other day after the day i die
