If there were words I might try to break the silence With platitudes and guidance Saying "time will heal the pain" If there were words I might say that I am sorry Or stop telling you stories About how loss can be a gain But I know there is no better place I can promise her to be There is nothing else that I can say To help you be at peace When life brings us to our knees It's hard enough to breathe If there were words I might speak about her bravery Every little way she saved me Picked me up when I was hurt If there were words I might wander through the memories Or count the ways she's with me How it almost makes it worse But I know there is no better place I can promise her to be There is nothing else that I can say To help you be at peace When life brings us to our knees It's hard enough to breathe But I know there is no better place I can promise her to be There is nothing else that I can say To help you be at peace When life brings us to our knees It's hard enough to breathe
