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 start 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 ever help you be at peace

When life brings us to our knees

And 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 way 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 ever help you be at peace

When life brings us to our knees

And 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 ever help you be at peace

When life brings us to our knees

And it's hard enough to breathe.
