Nothing Heals A Broken Heart

We took your seat out of the car
After a couple of weeks
But your room is still unchanged
Yellow and lime
Jeans still crumpled in the basket
A small tear on the left knee
From a big old oak you were proud to climb.

And some days I just sit on the floor and wonder
How did one I'd give my life for manage to leave
Everyone said it was a saving grace
That I came through alive and fine
And nothing heals a broken heart like time
But no amount of waiting has healed mine
Nothing heals a broken heart.

Red backpack with Winnie the Pooh
Still waiting to go to school
On an August morning you didn't wake to see
New pencils and scissors
Crayons and glue
Zipped inside and aching to breathe.

And some days I feel like no one else remembers
The cartoon faced kid who set the napkins out for dinner
Everyone said you're in a better place
And I'd learn to be fine
And nothing heals a broken heart like time
But no amount of waiting has healed mine
Nothing heals a broken heart.

And some days I just sit on the floor and wonder
How did one I'd give my life for manage to leave
Everyone said you're in a better place
And I'd learn to be fine
And nothing heals a broken heart like time
But no amount of waiting has healed mine
Nothing heals a broken heart.
