Lyrics

Don’t Tell Me How to Grieve

I’m listening to the sound of silence
That your absence left behind
Memories as loud as thunder
Play like a concert in my mind.
The note you left hit like a slap
To say with time that I’d be fine
Focus on healing me
And take it one day at a time

So kind of you
(To) tear my heart in two
And leave a road map for me to try
If I’d have known the last time I saw you
Would be the last time I saw you
Maybe I
Maybe I
Maybe I . . .


Don’t tell me how to grieve
My pain’s not yours to relieve
What happened in your mind
Might be different on the flip side
You’re the one who chose to leave
So don’t tell me how to grieve

All the self-help books you left
Read like an insult now to me
Your tarot cards on the nightstand
Don’t mean a thing without your belief
You try to say it’s just transition
I’ll come out stronger on the other side
But I felt strong enough with you
And I don’t want an upgrade this time

So kind of you
(To) tear my heart in two
And leave a road map for me to try
If I’d have known the last time I saw you
Would be the last time I saw you
Maybe I
Maybe I
Maybe I . . .


Don’t tell me how to grieve
My pain’s not yours to relieve
What happened in your mind
Might be different on the flip side
You’re the one who chose to leave
So don’t tell me how to grieve

Even in my darkest moments
I always knew what to say
This time the right words escape me
Just swallowed by the pain!!!



Maybe I should’ve listened
Maybe I should have cried
Maybe I should’ve spoke out loud
Find any other thing to try
Maybe I should’ve stood up
Maybe our love wouldn’t’ve died
Maybe I should’ve . . . .
Maybe I . . . .
Maybe I . . . .
Maybe I !


Don’t tell me how to grieve
Don’t tell me how to grieve

Don’t tell me how to grieve
My pain’s not yours to relieve
What happened in your mind
Might be different on the flip side
You’re the one who chose to leave
So don’t tell me how to grieve
Don’t tell me how to grieve
Don’t tell me how to grieve
Don’t tell me how to grieve——!
