String of lights on the door

Welcome back to your life

This is worth living for

There's so much left in store

And we don't

Get to choose

Who we get to love

Or who it is we're gonna lose

Or what breaks our hearts in two

But no one really dies if the love remains

'Cause nothing that dies really goes away

See grief, it's just like glitter

It's hard to brush away

Bright light and it still shimmers

Like it was yesterday

And it falls like confetti

All of the memories explode like a hand grenade

And it's sweet and it's bitter

Grief, it's like glitter

Oh, what a mess it makes

What a mess it makes

Past denial and the rage

The what if and the praying on the hardest days

You accept what you can't change

But no one really dies if the love remains

Yeah, nothing that dies really goes away

See grief, it's just like glitter

It's hard to brush away

Bright light and it still shimmers

Like it was yesterday

And it falls like confetti

All of the memories explode like a hand grenade

And it's sweet and it's bitter

Grief, it's like glitter

Oh, what a mess it makes

What a mess it makes

I think life's a party

Something you should celebrate

Some people leave early

And others get to stay

And hearts, they burst like fireworks

At the end of the parade

See grief, it's just like glitter

It's hard to brush away

Bright light and it still shimmers

Like it was yesterday

And it falls like confetti

All of the memories explode like a hand grenade

And it's sweet and it's bitter

Grief, it's like glitter

Oh, what a mess it makes

What a mess it makes
