[Intro — spoken, tired and intimate] Mmm. Some mornings hurt before you even open your eyes. [Verse 1] Your towel’s still hanging on the bathroom door Like you just stepped out and you’ll be back for more I moved your shoes, then I put them back Couldn’t stand the room looking clean like that There’s coffee in the pot I didn’t drink A message in my phone I didn’t send I keep reaching for the side of the bed Where the cold don’t answer back again [Pre-Chorus] Everybody says I’ll make it through Like making it is all I’m supposed to do But they don’t see me when the lights go dark Trying to live with what you left apart [Chorus 1] I still wake up where you used to be Still hear your voice in the walls around me I still hold on when I should let go Still miss a man who don’t miss me, I know I stand up straight I fall apart I’m breathin’ with a broken heart [Verse 2] I saw your jacket in the hallway light And lost ten minutes of my life last night Just stood there staring like a fool At something empty that belonged to you I almost called your mama just to hear Somebody say your name out loud and clear But pride got dressed before I cried And kept me quiet on the other side [Pre-Chorus] Everybody says don’t look behind But memory don’t listen all the time It walks in wearing your old smile And sits beside me for a while [Chorus 2 — minor change] I still drive past where we used to go Still slow down like you might show I still keep pain behind my eyes Still tell the world I’m doing fine I play my part I hide the scars Still breathin’ with a broken heart [Bridge — blues breakdown] Mmm, I ain’t mad enough to hate you Ain’t strong enough to forget Ain’t foolish enough to chase you But I ain’t free from you yet I gave you my soft place You gave me goodbye Now every room in this house Knows how to watch me cry But I’m still here With these shaking hands Trying to become Who I was before that man [Build — gospel lift, restrained at first] One day I won’t check the door One day I won’t want you anymore One day your name won’t cut so deep One day I’ll lay this hurt to sleep But tonight I’m just getting through One lonely hour without needing you No big speech, no brand-new start Just me and God and this tired heart [Final Chorus — bigger, emotional] I still wake up where you used to be But I don’t beg the dark to bring you back to me I still hurt, but I don’t lose my name Still got a little fire underneath this pain I stand up slow I bear the scar I’m breathin’ with a broken heart [Outro — soft ad-libs] Mmm… Still here Still trying Still rising Even torn apart Breathin’ With a broken heart
