A LITTLE GRIEF

I would hide under the table
So mom wouldn’t take me
Away from my happiest place
I would hog the tv with Jonah
Till Kirby came in
And told me to act my age

0-3 you raise me like I was your own
Now that you’re gone I fear that I can’t do this alone
But I’ll take a little grief
Shaking in the dark
Drowning in my tears
If it means knowing who you were
Frozen by the pier
Scared to come to life
Cause I can't imagine a world that’s without you
But I know that grief is just love preserving

So I’ll take it all
And make your life the centerpiece
Round tables of loved ones
Who carry on your memory
I’ll take it all
Though it’s taking all me
If this is what it means to
Love and be loved by you
Then I’ll take a little grief

You never made me be the one to clean up
Though everybody knew that
I was the one always
Messing things up

And if I'm a prima donna
It’s cause you spoiled me rotten
Though your love was always more than enough

You got me on your birthday
Right after my first days
But you were the gift ever since
Now I drive the road
I’ve drove 23 years
But it’s not you at the end
You were just here

But I’ll take a little grief
Shaking in the dark
Drowning in my tears
If it means knowing who you were
Frozen by the pier
Scared to come to life
Cause I can't imagine a world that’s without you
But I know that grief is just love preserving

So I’ll take it all
And make your life the centerpiece
Round tables of loved ones
Who carry on your memory
Yeah I’ll take it all
Though it’s taking all me
If this is what it means to
Love and be loved by you
Then I’ll take a little grief

Broken cause you’ll never see what I become
The fruits of your labor
From all that you gave to me
Don’t wanna let years
Turn your face to a memory
Just talked to you face to face
And now I look up and sing

Hymns and cries
Some goodbyes
Thank you's and sorry's and please's
In the night
Send your light
Then I’ll know I’ll make cause you’ll still hold me

Through a little grief
Shaking in the dark
Drowning in my tears
You showed me who I am
Frozen by the pier
Scared to come to life
Cause I can’t imagine a world that’s without you
But I know that grief is just love preserving

So I’ll take it all
And make your life the centerpiece
Round tables of loved ones
Who carry on your memory
Yeah I’ll take it all
Though it’s taking all me
If this is what it means to
Love and be loved by you
Then I’ll take a little grief

Take a little Grief
Take a little grief
If this is what it means to love and be loved by you
