I Thought I'd Die
Love, Betrayal, and Redemption: Unveiling the Emotions in 'I Thought I'd Die'
Lyrics
I came home the other night the door was open wide
I returned home to find the door wide open.
And as a joke I thought I'd try to sneak inside
As a prank, I attempted to sneak inside.
I heard a voice from the kitchen one I never heard before
I heard an unfamiliar voice in the kitchen.
Saying come my dear and go with me you don't need him anymore
The voice invited me to leave my current relationship.
I thought I'd die when I heard his voice so clear
Upon hearing the voice, I felt intense emotional pain.
I didn't know I could cry but I'm one big walking tear
I discovered that I could cry, overwhelmed with emotion.
And fear hung over me like a cloud when I heard him say out loud
Fear engulfed me as the voice continued persuading.
Come my dear and go with me you don't need him anymore
The voice insisted on leaving the current relationship.
A single thought ran through my head I'd rather see the stranger dead
A strong negative thought crossed my mind.
Than to know that he could take my love away
I preferred harm to the stranger over losing my love.
I drew a pistol from the draw and I shot him to the floor
I took a drastic step, shooting the stranger.
I heard her cry and then I heard her say
I heard the woman cry, and then she spoke.
You just killed my brother Jim who begged me to go with him
She revealed I had just killed her brother Jim.
Cause I told him of the troubles that we've had
Jim knew about our troubles and wanted to help.
And after all that we've been through I've said I still love you
Despite our issues, she professed her love for me.
And I told him all your good outweight the bad
She defended my virtues to her brother.
I thought I'd die when I heard her voice so clear
Again, hearing her voice caused intense emotional pain.
I didn't know I could cry but I'm one big walking tear
I realized I could cry, overwhelmed with emotion once more.
Now fear hangs over me like a cloud as the warden says out loud
Fear continued to affect me as a warden addressed me.
Come my son and go with me you don't live here anymore
The warden asked me to leave, indicating I no longer belonged.
