about

When we lose someone, its not the big gestures that we miss the most. Its the little moments, the mundane daily interactions that hurt the most. I wrote this song from the point of view of my grandmother and what she was going through when she lost her person, her love, her best friend - my grandfather. Even though her mind and memories are no longer present with us, he is the one that she never forgets.

Grief is not linear.

LYRICS

VERSE 1:
Dawn doesn’t feel the same,
When you’re waking up alone.
No legs tangled up in sheets.
No cold toes, warm chests.

CHORUS:
Loved you to your bones
Oh I loved you to your bones
Loved you to your bones
Oh I loved you to your bones.

VERSE 2:
When night falls I’m afraid again,
When I go to sleep alone.
No prayers, no kiss goodnight
Gotta hold myself.

CHORUS:
Loved you to your bones
Oh I loved you to your bones
Loved you to your bones
Oh I loved you to your bones.

BRIDGE 1:
Loving you to the bone, wasn’t easy you know.
But I still miss you in ways, didn’t think I could.

BRIDGE 2:
It’s 3 am and all I hear is you
It’s 3am and all I can smell is you
It’s 3am and all I want is you
It’s 3am and all I need is you

It’s 3 am and all I hear is you
It’s 3am and all I can smell is you
It’s 3am and all I want is you
It’s 3am and all I need is you

CHORUS:
Loved you to your bones
Oh I loved you to your bones
Loved you to your bones
Oh I loved you to your bones.
