​day i die Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Took a wrong turn this evenin'
Kinda hope I'd catch you leavin'
'Cause part of me is still believin'
You'll call me sometime, mm
Heartbreak doesn't come with blueprints
Like fresh snow doesn't come with shoe prints
It won't even take me two drinks
To call you tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
The grass ain't always greener
And the linings never silver, oh, I'm

[Chorus]
I'm terrified that I'll look back in ten years' time
And still be holding on to every single memory
While you're holding somebody who isn't me
I won't lie, I look for you in strangers' eyes
It kills me you don't even care we had to say goodbye
When I know that it'll haunt me 'til the day I die

[Verse 2]
Keepin' your seat at the table
It's got me feeling less than stable
And I swear to God it's almost fatal
This cut that you left in my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
The grass ain't always greener
And the linings never silver, oh, I'm

[Chorus]
I'm terrified that I'll look back in ten years' time
And still be holding on to every single memory
While you're holding somebody who isn't me
I won't lie, I look for you in strangers' eyes
It kills me you don't even care we had to say goodbye
When I know that it'll haunt me 'til the day I die

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
'Til the day I die
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
I'm terrified that I'll look back in ten years' time
And still be holding on to every single memory
While you're holding somebody who isn't me
I won't lie, I look for you in strangers' eyes
It kills me you don't even care we had to say goodbye
When I know that it'll haunt me 'til the day I die

What did Alexander Stewart say about "​day i die"?
Genius Answer

’day i die’ I wrote from a place of being terrified that I was never going to get over what I thought was the love of my life. I was at this point where I was writing a lot of songs from this place of almost like terror that I was comparing every single person I had met romantically to someone that was really important to me in my past. I got to a point where I needed to stop.
