[Verse 1] I stood by the sink with the radio low Your coffee cup still by the window People kept saying, “hang in there” Like that’s a thing you can hold There’s a name on my tongue And a hole in the room where you used to be I miss you in the small hours I miss you in the way the air fell silent. And if this life has to end somewhere I’m thankful your pain is over... [Verse 2] Now there’s a chair nobody moves Old love notes buried in a drawer The laugh you left in the hallway The way you knew exactly what to say. I’ve got the years, I’ve got the photos I’ve got the kids with your eyes And some days that’s enough to carry me Some days it barely gets me by. Then I catch your sweater by the door Or a sunset hits the same way And a song on the kitchen speaker, Turns right into tears... [Chorus] Grief and gratitude can sit at the same table No need to pick a side Joy doesn’t cancel the hurt I’m holding And sorrow doesn’t mean I’m not all right I can miss you and still mean thank you Let both of those be true Healing is making room for the whole of it The broken and the blessed The grief and the gratitude (The grief and the gratitude) [Bridge] That’s just being human A hand on my chest, a name in my mouth Some days I’m wide open Some days I’m just getting through But I’m learning the heart can hold both Without choosing, what to lose
