These are my words of wisdom I pass down from me to you The road that you are lost on Has but one path to choose And although your soul lies heavy It's a weight that you must bare 'Cause you will carry their loss with you always But please don't despair Just wait for a sign And the pain in your heart will die But I can't lie, no, it never leaves It never leaves, it just gets easier with time So just wait for a sign And the pain in your heart will die But I can't lie, no, it never leaves It never leaves, 'cause we're the ones they leave behind This is a trial we all must take To watch a loved one slip away Into the peaceful rest of death Where pain is lifted So you may ask me, does it get easier than this? And all I can say to you is Take no love for granted and cherish your family 'Cause the hands of time wait for no one like they didn't wait for me Just wait for a sign And the pain in your heart will die But I can't lie, no, it never leaves It never leaves, it just gets easier with time So just wait for a sign And the pain in your heart will die But I can't lie, no, it never leaves It never leaves, 'cause we're the ones they leave behind I'm so sorry that you're hurting But please take my words as truth Keep your head above the water And make them proud of you So just wait for a sign And the pain in your heart will die But I can't lie, no, it never leaves It never leaves, it just gets easier with time So just wait for a sign And the pain in your heart will die But I can't lie, no, it never leaves It never leaves, 'cause we're the ones they leave behind
