Lyrics

Don’t Let Grief Rule You
Verse 1
The house feels different in the morning
When one voice is gone from the day
The silence lingers in the hallway
Like it forgot to walk away
You reach for things that aren’t there anymore
A laugh, a hand, a name
And every memory you carry
Burns a little like a flame
Pre-Chorus
Love leaves a shadow when it goes
But it also leaves a light
Chorus
Don’t let grief rule you
Don’t let sorrow take the throne
The love you shared was meant to guide you
Not to leave you there alone
Let the tears fall when they need to
Let your heart remember too
But don’t let grief rule you
Verse 2
They wouldn’t want the world to darken
Everywhere their footsteps were
They’d want the sun to keep on rising
Every morning just as sure
The kindness that they left behind you
The laughter that they gave
Those things are stronger than the silence
Waiting at the grave
Pre-Chorus
Because love was never meant to fade
It only changes form
Chorus
Don’t let grief rule you
Don’t let sorrow take the throne
The love you shared was meant to guide you
Not to leave you there alone
Carry every precious memory
In the things you say and do
But don’t let grief rule you
Bridge
Grief is proof that love was real
A scar the heart must wear
But scars are not the end of life
They’re proof that love was there
Final Chorus
Don’t let grief rule you
Let love show the way instead
Let every memory be a lantern
Lighting roads ahead
And when the night feels overwhelming
Remember what is true…
Love is what remains
Even when they’re gone from view.
Outro
So cry when you must…
Remember always…
But don’t let grief rule you.
