'Twas the day I died, 'twas the day you lived
The unsinkable ship that sunk, the hopes and dreams
The captain who wouldn't abandon ship
The sorrowful choir that wouldn't cease
'Twas the day I died, 'twas the day you lived.
From wealth, wrapped in a façade you came
From heart, I came seeking shelter
The fates were merciless, the night dark
I could only save you, my heart
'Twas the day I died, 'twas the day you lived.
We loved, we danced, we sang, we laughed
We cried, we healed, we snuggled, we prayed
The alarms wailed in tandem, the people scared
We jumped into the sea, you and I, unafraid
'Twas the day I died, 'twas the day you lived.
The wood couldn't hold us both, the sea was cold
The ice was bitter, the ice was sweet
I couldn't let it hurt you, my queen
I floated beside you, alert, alive, but I couldn't hold
'Twas the day I loved, Rose, 'twas the day you loved.
