Loss x Joy

I held the morning after you were gone

And found a little gold inside the ache

Your coat still hangs beside the door Like time forgot to move

I make my coffee for us both Then smile at what I

do

It hurts the same,

it hurts less too I never thought that could be true Some

nights I break, some nights I breathe And both belong to you

So let the tears fall with the confetti Let my chest ache

while my hands reach high If love can leave and still keep

singing I can be broken and alive

I dance with the loss and the joy together One hand in

the rain, one hand in the light Missing you deep while the

room gets better

Crying and smiling into the night I dance with the loss and

the joy together You in my heart and the beat in my

bones Sadness and sun in the same kind of weather

I am not whole,

but I am not alone (oh) (ah

ah) (oh) I hear your laugh in crowded rooms It lifts and

cuts the same I learned the heart can hold two truths And

still pronounce your name

The day goes on,

the sky turns wide My feet keep finding ground I carry grief

like summer rain Falling soft without a sound

If you're the ache,

you're also the reason I know how bright a life can be

What stays with me is more than leaving It's every part you

woke in me

I dance with the loss and the joy together One hand in

the rain, one hand in the light Missing you deep while the

room gets better Crying and smiling into the night I dance with

the loss and the joy together You in my heart and the

beat in my bones Sadness and sun in the same kind of

weather I am not whole,

but I am not alone I carry you forward

I carry the light The hurt and the hallelujah Both turning tonight
