Story Behind The Song

My friend Kevin died. He was the third person I knew in a year who died. I didn't know all of them very well, but well enough to be affected by it. I was (and still am) close to Kevin's family and watching them mourn was difficult for me, especially since

Song Description

How do you deal with loss, when you are on the outside. You aren't a family member or a close friend, but you care for the dying person and his/her family? How do you express your feelings without crossing a line and invading the family's privacy?

Lyrics

My eyes wont dry, my heart wont cry.No feelings today, and a part of me died.
It's all about me and the pain that I see. Drop your flower and let go eternally.
We all wear a mask to make grief a passing phase, it's for everyone if only for a moment.
It's for everyone to go on with their lives.

The tears that wont fall, the sadness of it all. No hope, or it seems, that our lives are shattered dreams.
The final kiss goodbye, the dryness of your eyes. Empty promise, consolation for our lies. We cannot mourn today cause there's too much left to say, why can't anyone give just another moment. Oh the rest of us must go on with our lives.

Can anybody say, it's just another day? All I want to be, is this grief to set me free. Tomorrow will be bad, but a little bit less sad, and you might just feel a smile take you over.
Dry your eyes tonight and live your life again.

Dry your tears it's time to let your life begin again.
