String of lights on the door 
Welcome back to your life 
This is worth living for 
There's so much left in store

And we don't 
Get to choose 
Who we get to love 
Or who it is we're gonna lose 
Or what breaks our hearts in two

But no one really dies if the love remains 
'Cause nothing that dies really goes away

See grief, it's just like glitter 
It's hard to brush away 
Bright light and it still shimmers 
Like it was yesterday 
And it falls like confetti 
All of the memories explode like a hand grenade 
And it's sweet and it's bitter 
Grief, it's like glitter 
Oh, what a mess it makes 
What a mess it makes

Past denial and the rage 
The what if and the praying on the hardest days 
You accept what you can't change

But no one really dies if the love remains 
Yeah, nothing that dies really goes away

See grief, it's just like glitter 
It's hard to brush away 
Bright light and it still shimmers 
Like it was yesterday 
And it falls like confetti 
All of the memories explode like a hand grenade 
And it's sweet and it's bitter 
Grief, it's like glitter 
Oh, what a mess it makes 
What a mess it makes

I think life's a party 
Something you should celebrate 
Some people leave early 
And others get to stay 
And hearts, they burst like fireworks 
At the end of the parade

See grief, it's just like glitter 
It's hard to brush away 
Bright light and it still shimmers 
Like it was yesterday 
And it falls like confetti 
All of the memories explode like a hand grenade 
And it's sweet and it's bitter 
Grief, it's like glitter 
Oh, what a mess it makes 
What a mess it makes
