Throw The Flowers In The Grave

Throw the flowers in the grave
its been one year
Life does not seem the same
he should still be here

Death was unexpected
but life came to an end
A broken heart and endless crying
spending time trying to mend

No it should not have been him
No he should not have died
The nurse comes out to tell the news
"I'm sorry but we tried"

Throw the flowers in the grave
its been two years
Your feeling better now
yet still hold endless tears

What would he be like?
if he were still alive
would he be more careful now?
or live his normal life?

Would you hold him a little tighter
and tell him you loved him one more time
Holding the memories a little closer this time
instead of leaving it all behind

Throw the flowers in the grave
its been three years
Your feeling lonely now
mixed emotions you have always feared

It has not gotten easier
the pain is always there
But you have to remain strong
and act like you do not care

Disasters of heartache, still trying to mend
He is always in the back of your mind
Hoping things will turn out OK in the end
And searching for what you will never find

Throw the flowers in the grave
its been four years
still keeping it all together
but struggling to hold back tears

Truth is it never got easier
but it makes you stronger after all
Because life gives you two choices
to take it all on or let it all fall

Love him for who he was
because he is watching over you today
Take that leap when you feel like falling
He would want you to deal with it this way

Throw the flowers in the grave
It has been 5 years
Just know now you are on your own
Be ready to take on your fears

It is time to let go
Do not let this hold you back
Be the best you can be
He would want you to do that

No one can replace
Such a great and amazing trust
And as much as it hurts now
It is time to adjust

Throw the flowers in the grave
It has been 6 years
As far away as that sounds
It seems he was just here

Laughing his distinct laugh
Building such strong bonds
And even after this all this time
It is still hard to believe he is gone

They say He still lives on
But I cannot see him before my eyes
I still want to believe he is not gone
But the truth never lies

I will still throw the flowers in the grave
Even after 20 years
Because time does not mend the wound
Of when someone you love disappears
