Grief's like love's lonely brother It stretches your heart like a rubber band Sweet but not sweet like sugar It's bitter and tart and gritty like sand It's itchy and hot a flickering candle Constantly giving me all I can handle Til I can't describe how it saturates Oh, I got so much love But I got so much pain Isn't that all grief's supposed to be anyway I'm sleeping sounder than ever Life moves ahead and I'm missing him less Until the concept of forever enters my head and I'm back at his bed Side and he's dying all over again I'm goodbying all over again And I can't describe how it saturates Oh, I got so much love But I got so much pain Isn't that all grief's supposed to be anyway I know now it's grief what I've been feeling I'm quite sure that you're feeling it too Sitting down to talk can be revealing So instead I wrote this song for you
