[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But no one really dies if the love remains
'Cause nothing that dies really goes away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Past denial and the rage
The what ifs and the praying on the hardest days
You accept what you can't change
[Pre-Chorus]
But no one really dies if the love remains
And nothing that dies really goes away

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
