The Stages of Grief

Where do I begin? Pain finds a way in
Every time I think that I have found the words to say
Bumps raised on my skin
Oxygen gets thin, even when those words
Come out, my voice just seems to shake
Has my mind hit a wall, or is this natural?
I guess I've never faced something that made me feel so small
Am I against the world? Does it get easier?
I guess I've never lost someone that made me feel so whole

And I know they say that time will heal my wounds
But I'm only feeling bitter without you
Time has no friends, time has no friends
Can I find my place in a world that you're not in?

You're the thought when I am trying to fall asleep
This sinking feeling in my chest, I try to breathe
Stop asking if I'm fine, how could I be okay?
What I wouldn't give for me to take his place

And I know they say that time will heal my wounds
But I'm only feeling bitter without you
Time has no friends, time has no friends
Can I find my place in a world that you're not in?

I can't hear you, but I know you're there
Giving me strength to stand
The dream we had, the life we shared
For you, we'll see this through until the end

From the pain that I feel, I know our love was real
From the pain that I feel, I know our love was real

And I know they say that time will heal my wounds
But I'm only feeling bitter without you
Time has no friends, time has no friends
Can I find my place in a world that you're not in?

I can't hear you, but I know you're there
Giving me strength to stand
The dream we had, the life we shared
For you, we'll see this through until the end
