CRY from A COFFIN
What did I mean to you?
When I was alive and full of strength
When I could smell the roses and the freshness of spring
What did I mean to you?
When I was lonely and needed somebody
When my heart cried for love and no one cared
When I felt so weak and could not stand
What did I mean to you?
Now that I am in the depth of a coffin
You’re crying like I was the world to you
A little bit of love could alleviate my pain
But I did not mean a thing to you?
What did I mean to you
All you cared about was your crazy adventures
Your friends, your dates and your programs
I was absent from your to do list
What did I mean to you
Let everyone think that I was special
Prepare your speech, rehearse your cry
But I did not mean a thing to you
What did I mean to you
Tell everyone who comes to mourn with you
The precious moments, the wonderful life we had
Deep in your heart, I did not mean a thing to you
What did I mean to you
I spent my life trying to please you
I traded my happiness for your sorrows
But I did not mean a thing to you
What did I mean to you
Your watery eyes won’t bring me back
My life has ended, there is no turning back
What has been has been
What did I mean to you?
Enjoy your life with whoever brings you joy
Until you get to the end of your way
For I did not mean a thing to you
Why all these shoutings and cryings?
Why all this non sense?
You cannot stand on your own, you have to be carried
When I was alive how often did you say I love you?
What did I mean to you?
Weep on yourself and on your sins
Stop disturbing my peace
Because I did not mean a thing to you.
