Making Friends with Grieving 
(Written by Alexz Johnson & Nick Bullock)

If I knew the way it worked I swear to god I'd write the book
If I could explain the way that it can kill you with a look
Inches from hungover with every sip you took
Swimming underwater it'll catch you with a hook 
Could be flying higher than you ever thought you could 
Thinking you could shake it, ya I always thought I could
Stitching up the pieces that cut you like a knife 
Something underneath keeps you up all through the night 

Like an airplane, you landed in my life 
I’ve been speeding down the wrong lane is this suicide?
Like a freeway, you keep on moving on
And here I am been blindly heading straight into the sun 

Making friends with grieving, it’s all I ever do 
I’m negotiating everything to find some peace with you, tell me
How can you run? ‘Cause you’re only going to lose when you know grief has a gun 

I’ve been reading up on ways that I could meditate and pray 
Maybe I could make a prayer and pray all of this pain away 
I’m working through my trauma like every single day 
Breathing out the sorrow making room for something great 

Like an airplane, you landed in my life 
I’ve been speeding down the wrong lane is this suicide?
Like a freeway, you keep on moving on
But here I am been blindly heading straight into the sun 

Making friends with grieving, it’s all I ever do 
I’m negotiating everything to find some peace with you, tell me
How can you run? When there’s no place left to go and you know grief has a gun
I’ve been making friends with grieving, it’s the hardest thing I’ve done
Trying to put the pain away, it won’t quit until it’s won, tell me 
Where can you run? ‘Cause you’re only gonna lose when you know grief has a gun

A gun gun gun gun gun 

Chorus
