Grieving

I never will stop grieving

Who we are when we are young

For my grandmother, her children

And who I never will become

For a feeling that is fading more

Each day I see the sun

I never will stop grieving

Grief is all I know of love

For grief is love run backwards

A great movie in reverse

And knowing how it ends

Can give another something birth

Gives another something terrible

Great roots inside the earth

That too late, after it's gone

Is when we finally weigh its worth

Like how my mother says that funerals

Have the timing down all wrong

You say so much to a person

Only after they are gone

But grief is love run backwards

So we love them better then

And we love them with forgiveness

All because we know the end

So I never will stop grieving

Everything that's yet to die

I think I'll love after I'm dead

And I'll grieve while I'm alive

Like how my mother says that funerals

Have the timing down all wrong

You say so much to a person

Only after they are gone

But grief is love run backwards

So we love them better then

And we love them with forgiveness

All because we know the end

So I never will stop grieving

Everything that's yet to die

I think I'll love after I'm dead

And I'll grieve while I'm alive

I think I'll love after I'm dead

And I'll grieve while I'm alive
