I Grieve

Lyrics

It was only one hour ago
 It was all so different then
 ♪
 As nothing yet has really sunk in
 Looks like it always did
 ♪
 This flesh and bone
 Is just the way that you were tied in
 Now, there's no one home
 I grieve for you
 
 And you leave me
 ♪
 It's so hard to move on
 ♪
 Still loving what's gone
 
 And still, life carries on
 ♪
 Carries on, and on, and on, and on
 ♪
 The news that truly shocks
 Is the empty, empty page
 While the final rattle rocks
 Its empty, empty cage
 And I can't handle this
 I grieve for you
 ♪
 And you leave me
 ♪
 Let it out and move on
 ♪
 Missing what's gone
 ♪
 They say life carries on
 ♪
 They say life carries on, and on, and on
 ♪
 Life carries on in the people I meet
 ♪
 And in everyone that's out on the street
 In all the dogs and cats
 In the flies and rats
 In the rot and the rust
 In the ashes and the dust
 Life carries on, and on, and on, and on
 Life carries on, and on, and on
 ♪
 It's just the car that we ride in
 The home we reside in
 The face that we hide in
 The way we are tied in
 And life carries on, and on, and on, and on
 Life carries on, and on, and on
 ♪
 Did I dream this belief?
 Or did I believe this dream?
 Now, I can find relief
 I grieve
