Parting Gift

These are my words of wisdom
 I pass down from me to you
 The road that you are lost on
 Has but one path to choose
 And although your soul lies heavy
 It's a weight that you must bare
 'Cause you will carry their loss with you always
 But please don't despair
 Just wait for a sign
 And the pain in your heart will die
 But I can't lie, no, it never leaves
 It never leaves, it just gets easier with time
 So just wait for a sign
 And the pain in your heart will die
 But I can't lie, no, it never leaves
 It never leaves, 'cause we're the ones they leave behind
 This is a trial we all must take
 To watch a loved one slip away
 Into the peaceful rest of death
 Where pain is lifted
 So you may ask me, does it get easier than this?
 And all I can say to you is
 Take no love for granted and cherish your family
 'Cause the hands of time wait for no one like they didn't wait for me
 Just wait for a sign
 And the pain in your heart will die
 But I can't lie, no, it never leaves
 It never leaves, it just gets easier with time
 So just wait for a sign
 And the pain in your heart will die
 But I can't lie, no, it never leaves
 It never leaves, 'cause we're the ones they leave behind
 I'm so sorry that you're hurting
 But please take my words as truth
 Keep your head above the water
 And make them proud of you
 So just wait for a sign
 And the pain in your heart will die
 But I can't lie, no, it never leaves
 It never leaves, it just gets easier with time
 So just wait for a sign
 And the pain in your heart will die
 But I can't lie, no, it never leaves
 It never leaves, 'cause we're the ones they leave behind
