Lyrics
[Verse1]
Before I left the house, I said my mornin' blessin',
Didn't think there'd be a problem on 9/11
So I turned to the door, kissed my kids goodbye,
Told my wife I loved her, Never thought that I would die,
And as I stood at the front porch, everything's beautiful,
Walked from my duplex to my Office's Cubicle.
Passed so many people down the street goin to work,
From fast food workers to businessmen, Polos to collared shirts.
It's interesting to see the people walkin' in the morning,
How all of them were clueless cuz none of us had warning.
But everything was good, I was meant to leave early,
Usually left at 6 but today I'd leave at 1:30.
Didn't have much to do, I coulda picked my kids up from school,
My daughter's in pre-cal and my son in Algebra 2.
But I could see em right now, The looks on their face,
Along with other children sayin' "My daddy's at that place"...
[Chorus]
You Tried to Kill Me (Where's ya Heart At)
(3x)
I Think you've Killed Me (Where's ya Heart At)
You Tried to Kill Me (Where's ya Heart At)
(3x)
Almost 3,000 dead (Where's ya Heart At)
[Verse2]
When I first saw that plane, I didn't think for nothin',
It was comin for us, I thought it was flyin' low or somethin'.
I turned my back for a second and heard an explosive sound,
Maybe 30 floors down, but I still hit the ground.
Got back up, decided to look out the window,
I didn't have one anymore, I could feel the wind blow,
And I could smell the exhaust comin' up from a plane,
Looked down and I saw the tail of it outside the building frame,
The screams hurt my ears, The sight hurt my eyes,
How come we didn't know death was here? Death was in disguise,
Came as a surprise, I thought, As I was runnin down steps,
Smoke fillin' my lungs and I was runnin' outta breath.
It's crazy to use a vehicle as a weapon,
Givin' a building a plane is like givin' a man lethal injection.
And I thought that maybe that plane carried a little girl,
Clutchin' a teddy bear knowin' its the end of her world.
[Chorus]
You Tried to Kill Me (Where's ya Heart At)
(3x)
I Think you've Killed Me (Where's ya Heart At)
You Tried to Kill Me (Where's ya Heart At)
(3x)
Almost 3,000 dead (Where's ya Heart At)
[Verse3]
The only things that ran thru my head were my prayers and family,
Who the hell would do this? Who would wanna damage humanity?
I screamed profanity as I was dodgin' debris,
Felt like a lamb to the slaughter, Why were they targeting me?
I didn't want to accept it, But I knew that was it,
It's like I knew it to begin with, Since the first plane hit.
Why did it have to be then? I wanted to see my kids,
I still wanted to love my wife, I still wanted to live.
But this is the story of a dead man, I'm no longer living,
Died that day from suffocation cuz my lungs weren't getting,
No oxygen for me to have a way of survival,
Even if I got rescued, I would be Dead On Arrival.
So I laid on the ground choked and cried that day,
That was painful and helpless, I didn't wanna die that way.
The last thing I did was call my wife on my cell phone,
Tellin' her I loved her and that I wasn't gonna come home.
[Chorus]
You Tried to Kill Me (Where's ya Heart At)
(3x)
I Know you've Killed Me (Where's ya Heart At)
You Tried to Kill Me (Where's ya Heart At)
(3x)
Almost 3,000 dead (Where's ya Heart At)
