about

For anyone who has ever grieved for someone who didn't deserve it. Because grief doesn't come with a rulebook.

lyrics

In a final moment
Disbelief becomes relief
And in the days ahead
Grief will turn to peace

All the pretty words
But who really knew you?
You hold your secrets
Now I’m alone with the truth

You stole the apologies I’ll never get now
And the answers to the questions I wasn’t brave enough to ask
You took the years I’ll never get back

But still the tears come
Cause I loved you once

I’ll search for words
Things I’m supposed to say
To put on a brave face
And try to take their pain away

But I wonder, could you tell me
When the moment finally came,
Did you understand
How it feels to be afraid?

You stole the apologies I’ll never get now
And the answers to the questions I wasn’t brave enough to ask
You took the years I’ll never get back

But still the tears come
Cause I loved you once

Now it doesn’t matter anyway
No more foolish hope that someday you’d say

The things I thought I needed to hear
To make all this clear

And all along I’ve been the only one who holds the key
To lay you to rest and set myself free

Cause I never let you have the best of me

You stole the apologies I’ll never get now
And the answers to the questions I wasn’t brave enough to ask
You took the years I’ll never get back

But still the tears come
Still the tears come
Cause I loved you once
