The Day Before the Day

Speeches won't be made today
clocks will carry on.
Flowers won't be left in parks
work will still be done.
People won't be dressed in black
babies will be born.
No flags will fly, the sun will rise
but we will know that you are gone.
You who love to love and believed we can never give enough.
It wakes me every single night thinking through the day
Did you stop at any time
have doubts at any stage.
Or were you calm or were you numb or happy just to get it done
I've lived my life without regret until today
And you who love to love
and believed we can never give enough.
I didn't get to say goodbye
the day before the day
Was trying to get to work on time that's why I turned away
And missed the most important thing you ever tried to say
I've lived my life without regret until today
And you who love to love and believed we can never give enough.
And you who hoped that underneath
we all felt the same.
That was until the day before the day, the day before the day
The day before the day, oh the day before the day
The day before the day, oh the day before the day
Oh the day before the day, oh the day before the day.
