Here’s a song about the aftermath of a breakup.
“The Grass is Growing Back”
lyrics:
This morning, I woke to find
Quiet in my mind
Retrospective clinging
and hand-wringing
I’m finally inclined to leave that all behind
‘Cause the grass is growing back on the path between your heart and mine
At first, I’d tread that path every day
Thinking of things I wish I could say
I see they don’t matter anyway
‘Cause you’re gone
From roots ‘neath melting snow
New shoots start to grow
I walk on a new track
Refrain from a look back
And I forget where that path used to go
Now the grass is growing back on the path between your heart and mine
Growth’s a natural process
Learning when and when not to trust
Release the fantasy that was us
‘Cause you’re gone
It just takes some time
For the heart to realign
our roots un-entwine
I walk in sunshine
Basking in the quiet of my peaceful mind
Now the grass is growing back on the path between your heart and mine
The grass is growing back on the path between your heart and mine
