	Here's a song I wrote about any event or moment in life where something completely devastating happens. It's about that moment, however long it may be, when we can't talk, can't move, can't even breathe, when we swear our heart has stopped along with everything else in our body and life. It's about any moment where we are completely devasted and we know our lives will never be the same because of it.

	Story Behind the Song This song was written ten months after the September 11th attacks. At the time I had gotten inspiration for this song from reliving that day after reading some articles and stories about it again. However, this song evolved into a song that dealt more with those moments in life where we are completely devasted. Those horrific moments that will always be burned into our memory. For some it was September 11th, for others it may be the death of a loved one, and for others it could be so many other things. Lyrics The day my heart stopped If only for a moment Was a day of horror A day my breath stopped And I was stilled The day my heart stopped I remember minutes ago Weeping in seclusion for days The day my heart stopped That day will always be Seconds away in my heart The day my heart stopped Counting the tears until I can close my eyes And it’s a dream Call it a nightmare The day my heart stopped Crush, broken, beaten, stabbed I stopped loving on that day Stopped my Utopian dreams Dreams of castles in the sky And empires of innocence Dreams that disappeared On the day my heart stopped Counting the tears until I can close my eyes And it’s a dream Call it a nightmare The day my heart stopped Crush, broken, beaten, stabbed I stopped loving on that day Stopped my Utopian dreams Dreams of castles in the sky And empires of innocence Dreams that disappeared On the day my heart stopped
