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 hearts 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 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
 Past denial and the rage
 The what if and the praying on the hardest days
 You accept what you can't change
 But no one really dies if the love remains
 Yeah, 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 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
 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
