Glitter

String of lights on the door Welcome back to your life This is worth living for There's so much left in store And we don't Get to choose Who we get to love Or who it is we're gonna lose Or what breaks our heart in two But no one really dies if the love remains Cause nothing that dies really goes away See grief it's just like glitter It's hard to brush away Bright light and it still shimmers Like it was yesterday And if falls like confetti All of the memories explode like a hand grenade And it's sweet and it's bitter Grief it's like glitter Oh what a mess it makes What a mess it makes Past denial and the rage The what if and the praying on the hardest days You accept what you can't change No one really dies if the love remains Cause nothing that dies really goes away See grief it's just like glitter It's hard to brush away Bright light and it still shimmers Like it was yesterday And if falls like confetti All of the memories explode like a hand grenade And it's sweet and it's bitter Grief it's like glitter Oh what a mess it makes What a mess it makes I think life's a party Something you should celebrate Some people leave early And others get to stay And hearts they burst like fireworks At the end of the parade See grief it's just like glitter It's hard to brush away Bright light and it still shimmers Like it was yesterday And it falls like confetti All of the memories explode like a hand grenade And it's sweet and it's bitter Grief it's like glitter Oh what a mess it makes What a mess it makes
