What once were everyday simple mundane tasks
Have now turned into obstacles just too tough to pass

At work I waste away over things so vain
Why I did not give my time to what is now slain

Either Work or play, makes no difference which I choose these days
Cause all is empty, all naive to the tragedy that's chosen me


Now every single Valentine will always patiently remind
Me of a time when I lost my friend
And everyone at NIU will say forward together forward
But it just don't feel that way today


Everyone around me says do not fear
But its not fear that surrounds me, its all about what isn't here

At school I'm working hard as I problem solve
But I can't seem to solve just how I feel right now

If I feel, I feel angry, for its all so wrong
So unfair to be relating to the words of this song


Now every single Valentine will always patiently remind
Me of a time when I lost my son
And everyone at NIU will say forward together forward
But it just don't feel that way today
No I just don't feel that way

Now every single Valentine will always patiently remind
Me of a time when I lost my girl
And everyone at NIU will say forward together forward
But it just don't feel that way today
No I just don't feel that way
