RJ Barranco - The Gruyère Grief Lyrics

It hits in waves, sometimes sharp, sometimes smooth
Like Gruyère, beneath the rind, it's hard to soothe
The memories linger, they cut and they fold
Grief has a flavor that's bitter and bold

In every corner, there's a taste of you
Strong and nutty, but the cracks come through
I try to breathe, but it fills the air
Grief is a burden I always wear

The Gruyère grief, it's heavy and deep
I carry the weight, and I can't sleep
It shifts and it crumbles, but never fades
The taste of loss that time can't erase

The Gruyère grief, it follows me still

Through the quiet, through the chill

There's sweetness in moments, but it doesn't stay
Like a love that's aged, but slips away
The holes left behind make my heart feel old
My days were warm, then my nights turned cold

In every bite, I feel you near
But the aftertaste is sharp and clear
I try to move, but the weight remains
Grief in layers, running through my veins

The Gruyère grief, it's heavy and deep
I carry the weight, and I can't sleep
It shifts and it crumbles, but never fades
The taste of loss that time can't erase

The Gruyère grief, it follows me still

Through the quiet, through the chill

It melts and it hardens, just like before
Every layer hides a little more
I take it in, but it won't let go
The Gruyère grief is all I know

The Gruyère grief, it's heavy and deep
I carry the weight, and I can't sleep
It shifts and it crumbles, but never fades
The taste of loss that time can't erase

The Gruyère grief, it follows me still

Through the quiet, through the chill

And I can't shake the weight of you
The Gruyère grief, it's all I hold on to...
