How do you choke down your sorrow
When someone you love fades away
they wince in pain, so sit still all day
and the mind tick tocks away, away
so I cry, the phantom heart bleeds
I swallow my tears mixed with snot
push it all down to that hollow spot
then plaster a smile on my face
and say Jesus loves me and you too
today a friend said, I pray God claims her
I hope he comes soon
She’s too good a person
To die that way
to die that way
