"Parting Gift" lyrics

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 bear
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
