Learn
Tim And The Boys Lyrics

The hand is cold that once held mine
The person who used to be here is no longer present and I feel their absence

I can't believe you've really left this world behind
It is still difficult for me to accept that you are gone from this world

I can wait and I can hope I'll get over this in time
I can be patient and have faith that eventually I will be able to move on from this loss

It takes time to learn when someone's gone for good
It is a process that takes time to come to terms with the permanence of someone's absence

They're not comin' back like you wish they would
Despite our desire for it to be otherwise, the person who is gone will not be returning

In the empty hours when you miss them so
During those times when you feel their absence most acutely

Then it's time to learn to let them go
It is necessary to begin the process of accepting the loss and moving on with life

Your last hours we never knew
We were not present to witness your final moments

We never had a chance to say goodbye to you
We were denied the opportunity to properly say farewell

Words unsaid and things undone
There were important things that were left unspoken or unfinished

We'd just begun and now we'll never see them through
We had started something meaningful together but now it will never be realized

It takes time to learn that you're gone for good
It is a gradual process to fully grasp that the person is truly gone

You're not comin' back like I wish you would
Despite my yearning, I know that you will not return

In the empty hours when I miss you so
During those times when I feel your absence most acutely

Then it's time to learn to let you go
It is necessary for me to accept your absence and begin to move on with life
