The Thing About Grief
Clare Bowditch & the Feeding Set

The thing about grief is

It knows what I did and

It knows what I did not say

It sentenced me to a life of excavating

Things my little head can not understand

But I patched it all together with string and rubber bands

The thing about grief is

Few people know that the I goes before the E

And it's hard to give away because it's

The last thing you gave to me

I've scrambled it together and

Collaged it in a lighted frame

Sometimes I'm scared to speak your name

Oh, you were young, a beautiful

You should have grown to be old

Like I'll grow old, no you will not

You left me here to join the dots

I'm gonna speak them

The thing about grief is

It took what I loved and it buried her deep away

It makes no sense but it's interesting in it's own way

Some days I still assume I'm gonna see your face again

But I always assume

The thing about grief is

It gets kind've boring for the people who don't yet know

Your friends, some they will wander off and

Most will wish you'd just move on, sister

But black is the color 'cause it

Doesn't seem to have an end

I've heard it changes and you'll make new friends

Oh, you were young, a beautiful

You should have grown to be old

I will grow old, no you will not

You left me here to join the dots

I'm gonna speak them
