The Snow Never Settles

Verse 1

Grief came in quiet like frost on a window

No warning knock, just a chill in the air

Your coffee cup’s still sitting on the counter

Like it’s waiting for the hand that’s not there

Your coat on the hook is a paused conversation

Your chair still remembers the nights you would stay

And this house is a map of unfinished directions

Every hallway still points your way

Pre-Chorus

Some days I whisper your name like a prayer

Some days I throw it at heaven in pain

I keep rewinding the last time I saw you

But the ending won’t ever change

Chorus

This grief’s like a snow globe in somebody’s hands

A snow globe they shake when I start to stand

All of our moments come falling around me

Tiny white memories I can’t hold again

There’s anger that burns like a match in my pocket

There’s guilt like a stone in my shoe

And I keep staring through glass at the life that we had

In a world where I still had you

Verse 2

I get mad at the clock for still turning forward

Like time didn’t notice you’re gone

Mad at the sun for rising so careless

Mad at the birds for singing their songs

Then guilt slips in through the cracks of the evening

With a list of the things I’d redo

All the “one more minutes” I should’ve held tighter

All the “I love yous” I rushed through

Pre-Chorus

I replay every word, every silence

Looking for something I missed

But no matter how far I go back in the story

You’re always the part that I miss

Chorus

This grief’s like a snow globe in somebody’s hands

A snow globe they shake when I start to stand

All of our moments come falling around me

Tiny white memories I can’t hold again

There’s anger that burns like a match in my pocket

There’s guilt like a stone in my shoe

And I keep staring through glass at the life that we had

In a world where I still had you

Bridge

Sometimes the quiet feels like you’re answering

In the spaces between every breath

Like love learned to move through the silence

Instead of the rhythm of death

And when the night gets the heaviest on me

When the missing feels too big to stand

I swear I can feel you beside me

Like warmth in the palm of my hand

Final Chorus

This grief’s like a snow globe in somebody’s hands

A snow globe they shake when I start to stand

All of our moments come falling around me

Tiny white memories I can’t hold again

There’s anger that softens to quiet reflection

There’s guilt that forgiveness walks through

And I’m learning to live in the world that kept turning

Without the heartbeat of you
