I died just a little bit today
The same amount that I did yesterday
Tomorrow when I wake up I’ll begin to die again
I died just a little bit today

I died just a little bit today
The sands of time take my life away
Tomorrow I might wake up more used up than today
I died just a little bit today

I died just a little bit today
Another of my dreams has gone astray
Tomorrow should I try again, or let it stay this way
I died just a little bit today

I died just a little bit today
And I just don’t have the confidence to say
All the things I should have said each and every other day
I died just a little bit today

I died just a little bit today
I looked for silver linings, but found gray
There were no white puffy clouds in the sky anyway
I died just a little bit today

I died just a little bit today
The crowds all just looked on with dismay
There was no one rooting for me, I didn’t hear hooray
I died just a little bit today

I died just a little bit today
If life’s a stage, then it’s a tragic play
And I still play the leading role in this comic tragedy
I died just a little bit today

I died just a little bit today
Because it seems I’ve forgotten how to pray
Or maybe I just realized there’s no one listening anyway
I died just a little bit today

Today I think I’ll wear the one that makes my visage Brave
I’ll smile so you never know that I’m dreaming of a grave
Tomorrow I’ll decide what other face I should invent
Perhaps I’ll wear my favorite, and make it seem that I’m Content

I’ve worn that one so many times, in many situations
It helps me face my worldly problems, and relationship equations
Or I’ll wear the one you know, you’ve seen it many times
It feigns Determination for all of life’s uphill climbs

Maybe the time has come for me to finally “face” my lies
But I fail to know which face to wear to make me realize
That I’ve lost track of who I am when not trying to pretend
That I’m someone who I’m not with something to defend

Today I think I’ll wear the one that makes my aspect Stern
When someone looks into those eyes, then they will see me burn
I’ll try to use an outer image that everyone perceives
To hide what lives within my heart behind what everyone believes

Maybe I should use a face that pretends I really Care
While holding close my true beliefs behind the masks I wear
Don’t ask me what those beliefs might be, you don’t deserve to know
And even if I thought you did, I forgot them long ago

Because I often wear a face, my Angry one for instance
It’s easier to just pretend, and keep you at a distance
And hope you don’t ask questions that I don’t have answers to
But if you do ask anyway, I don’t have to answer you

I wear another mask beneath the one outside
To allow you to remove the one, and allow me still to hide
Behind the face that I choose for you, you see what I Desire
You think you’ve gotten through to me, so you no longer inquire

I’ll just wear the face that makes you believe you know me
And like all other observers, be deceived by what you see
Angry, Sad, Brave, Glad, emotions worn like veils
I wear them as I need to because my own emotions failed
