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 don't 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

Be strong for those who cannot be at the time
Hold on for those who feel like letting go
Force a smile for the tear falling down
Stir the emotions that never show
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
