You Don't Even Have a Grave
# YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A GRAVE **(Verse 1)** I don't have a grave where I can come see you, No stone with your name that I can talk to, No flowers I can leave when I'm missing you bad, No place I can stand and remember what we had. I don't know where to go when the grief gets loud, Can't sit by your name underneath the clouds, Can't touch cold stone and pretend you're close, I'm just left with memories and a whole lot of ghosts. People say, "Go visit him," but they don't understand, There ain't nowhere I can go and put my hand, So I drive around sometimes with nowhere to park, Just trying to find somewhere that still feels like your heart. And that's what makes this shit harder to accept, There's no final place where I can lay my respect, No headstone, no flowers, no date carved in stone, Just your name in my phone and this feeling alone. **(Hook)** You don't even have a grave, So where the fuck am I supposed to go? Where do I take these flowers When I'm missing you the most? You don't even have a grave, No place where I can say goodbye, So I talk to you beneath the stars And hope you're somewhere in the sky. You don't even have a grave, But you're buried deep inside my heart, Death took away your physical presence, But it can't tear our bond apart. **(Verse 2)** I wish I had somewhere I could visit when I'm hurting, Somewhere I could sit and feel like you're still listening, Somewhere I could bring the pictures, bring the memories, Somewhere I could tell you everything that's happening. Instead I keep your pictures underneath my phone screen, Keep your name where I can see it when I'm feeling weak, Keep talking to the air like somehow you can hear, 'Cause I don't have a grave, so I carry you right here. I wonder if you know how many times I think about you, How many nights I sit alone and still talk about you, How many songs I write with your memory in the lines, How many fucking times I wish I could rewind time. And maybe this is where your grave became my music, Every verse another place where I refuse to lose you, Every hook another flower that I'll never get to place, Every song another way to give your memory a space. **(Hook)** You don't even have a grave, So where the fuck am I supposed to go? Where do I take these flowers When I'm missing you the most? You don't even have a grave, No place where I can say goodbye, So I talk to you beneath the stars And hope you're somewhere in the sky. You don't even have a grave, But you're buried deep inside my heart, Death took away your physical presence, But it can't tear our bond apart. **(Bridge)** I can't leave flowers on your grave, So I'll leave 'em in these songs, I can't sit beside your headstone, So I'll carry you along. I can't visit where you rest, So I'll visit where you live, Inside every fucking memory, Inside everything I give. And if nobody else remembers, I swear to God I will, I'll say your name until my voice gives out, I'll love you even still. **(Final Hook)** You don't even have a grave, But I still come looking for you, In old pictures, in old songs, In everything we used to do. You don't even have a grave, So I'll make the whole world know, My brother wasn't just a memory, He was someone I loved. And when they ask me where you're buried, I'll point straight to my chest, 'Cause that's where I keep you every day, And that's where you'll always rest.
