Lyrics
And after she's gone
Reflecting on the departure of someone significant
And you're fragile like porcelain
Expressing vulnerability and fragility
I've been writing this song
Indicating the act of composing a song
To help you breathe again
Desiring to assist in the process of emotional recovery
If you could reach to the heavens
Pondering the idea of reaching out to the departed in the afterlife
Would you touch the veil she wore?
Questioning whether one would try to connect with the departed soul
Don't make words into weapons
Advising against turning words into hurtful weapons
I know that she loved you more
Acknowledging the depth of love the departed had
There's life after death
Emphasizing the existence of life after death
And there's breath when you're gone
Highlighting the continuation of breath and existence after someone's passing
And you'll slide from the shadows
Suggesting resilience and emerging from shadows
'Cause you were strong all along
Acknowledging the inner strength that was always present
She's watching from heaven
Reiterating the idea that the departed is watching over and always present
She's always beside you
-She's watching from heaven
-She's always beside you
-Feel the love from your brother
Encouraging support from family and the continued presence of the departed in the living
Like when you both lived in her
-Fear not for your mother
-'Cause she lives in you
-Let's run
Proposing a journey to overcome darkness and find healing words
Let's run where you want and find another way
-Let's burn
-Let's burn all the dark and find words we wanna say
-And you'll slide from the shadows
Reinforcing the theme of resilience and strength
'Cause you were strong all along
-She's watching from heaven
Repeating the idea of the departed's constant presence and watchfulness
She's always beside you
-She's watching from heaven
-She's always beside you
-She's watching from heaven
Further emphasizing the enduring connection with the departed
She's always beside you
-This life's in color
Describing life as vibrant, inheriting qualities from the departed, and the lasting presence in the heart
You've soul like your mother
-She's there in your heart
-These tears they won't last
Assuring that the pain will subside and emphasizing the growth of the departed within
This life's in color
-You've heart like no other
-She grows in you, in you, in you
-In you
Repetition of the idea of the departed living on within the individual
In you
-In you
-In you
