[Denial]
Can you hear that?
It's the sound of my heart
Beating slow
Now don't you fear that
Cause it speaks a language
Only you know
There's no need to be scared
Because I feel you there
Why would you ever go and leave me alone?
You'll be back someday
With the piece I gave away
To come complete our puzzle and make me
[Anger]
Whole lotta words that I wanted to say
And like the dust of what's left
Of our love
They just crumbled away
I reminisced of the yesterdays
And how you used me for my heart
So you'd get me to stay
Was I a toy?
You'd enjoy
That you'd one day dismiss
I was a fool
Cause I thought you'd treat me better than this
It wasn't real
I should have noticed something amiss
But I was lost in what was ultimately temporary bliss
That I
[Bargaining]
Missed those moments
When you would smile at me
And it was my fault that you would decide to leave
And I'd do anything to get another chance to see
To prove to you the lengths I'd go to show you what you mean to me
I'll trade it all
No there ain't no excuse
For doing what I did
With that emotional abuse
The consequence of me
Was that of losing you
And I'll atone in any sort of way you'd want me to
To get
[Depression]
Through
All of these clouds
Beyond it lays obscurity
Creeping on me
The darkness is free
And as I look around me
I notice it surrounds me
The weight of mistakes
Is harder to take
And you are now missing
Cause I wouldn't listen
And now I stand here burdened by forbidden kisses
You comfort me gently
But I'm lonely intently
It was best for us to move before you'd resent me
[Acceptance]
I'm on this road of life on my own
And you no longer beside me
It leaves an empty noise
Your absence is a hole in my soul
But I have learned how to brave it
Live around your void
And I know that
You may never come back
But it's the moments that we had that I trust
To keep track
Because
All that I am
And all that we lacked
Has helped me grow into a man you'd be proud to take back
If you wanted to
If you needed to
I'm not trying to
But I'm open to
You won't need me here
I won't need you too
But if you're staying gone
I stay loving you
In stages
Grief happens in stages
It happens in stages
Grief happens in stages
(Stages, stages)
It happens in stages...
