about

"I wrote this song about my grief surrounding a tragic event that happened within my family a few years ago.

Everyone deals with loss in their own way, and time doesn't always heal the pain. In most cases, we just learn how to cope with the heartache as we live on each day.

This song if for anyone who has ever lost someone close to them. I hope you begin to see the beauty in life again soon, and find peace within your heart."

~ Amanda Jean

lyrics

THESE THINGS
© Copyright August 18, 2019, Written & Composed by Amanda Jean Wourms

What a cold, cold way to feel
Time slows down
Nothing is real

Tragedy came knocking at your door
Down on your knees
You fall to the floor
Screaming, why
Oh, God, tell me why

These things always happen
When we least expect it
Sometimes in the madness
Life’s taken for granted

So tonight, rest your weary mind
It will just take time
That’s what they all say

But time, time will never heal
You learn to live, and you learn how to deal

When the memories come storming through your mind
Hold onto the light
And know that

These things always happen
When you least expect it
Sometimes in the sadness
Given a lesson

Slow down
Silence the sounds before you drown
The sun will rise again

So tonight, rest your weary mind
It will be alright
That’s what they all say

That’s life
You’ll survive

Hmm... hmm... hmm...
