What's The Purpose Of Grief?
What’s The Purpose Of Grief
What is the purpose that be
Who’s the person saying that you gotta get up and leave
I know it’s selfish but I hope you don’t start moving your feet
I hope you stay here with me
Why won’t you stay here with me?
Become my guardian angel
No
Stay in your human form
I don’t want to do this no more
Emotional and crying laying out in my bedroom floor
Looking at all types of lights and hoping it’s you who calls
And if it isn’t you then I'm going to hang up the phone
Yea that’s right
Silence on the phone line
Went from talking and laughing to silence and closed eyes
Went from knowing the masses to not knowing own life
I’ll take that burden and trade us only if you don’t die
I’ll take that burden and trade us for just another five minutes
This world gets so unbearable now that you aren’t in it
Hand me the shovel right now I’ll trade and start digging
I know I got more life but what’s the point if you don’t witness
What’s The Purpose Of Grief
What is the purpose that be
Who’s the person saying that you gotta get up and leave
I know it’s selfish but I hope you don’t start moving your feet
I hope you stay here with me
Why won’t you stay here with me?
This is in the mindset of someone who just lost someone, so important, so dear to them.
