They told me my grief would get easier with passage of time
But all it has become is an unending swan song
As the DB majors and C minors cut through all of those lies
Leaving stripes of tear stains upon my cheeks
And my life, much like my broken heart feeling empty
I’m sure a part of them meant well but honesty played no part
Making my world even smaller than I once thought
Still, I wash my face, stand up straight in your memory
But I’m fully sure you know all too well, I’m just pretending
You’ve been the soul of my heart since the moment of your birth
That pivotal moment when the universe changed forever
I had no idea your absence would cause the universe to retract
All of life’s goodness that your presence depicted
Leaving me beset within this slow-motion… heart attack
