[Intro] [steel-string acoustic guitar strumming steady open chords and drums] Verse 1 I still leave the hallway light on Like you might come back through the door I still catch myself for footsteps Even though they’re not there anymore There were words I should’ve said then Truths I should’ve faced by name Now the silence fills the corners Where your voice used to stay Pre-Chorus I tell myself to let you go But my heart won’t take the note Chorus [male baritone vocals enter with hard base drums] And I struggle And I struggle And I can’t shake off the ache When I’m calling out your name And I struggle And I struggle And I’m standing in the rain Wearing all this shame Verse 2 I’ve been sleeping with the curtains Pulled back wide against the dark Hoping somehow you might find me Like a ship might spot a spark But the morning brings no answers Just the frame on the wall And the memory of losing you Hits harder than it should at all Pre-Chorus I tell myself that I’m alright Then I break again at night Chorus And I struggle And I struggle And I can’t shake off the ache When I’m calling out your name And I struggle And I struggle And I’m standing in the rain Wearing all this shame Bridge Was it something I had broken? Was it something I became? Did you go because I hurt you? Or were we both too scared to stay? I’d take the blame and keep it If it let me hold you again But some doors stay closed forever And some stories have to end Final Chorus Still I struggle Still I struggle And I can’t shake off the ache When I’m calling out your name Still I struggle Still I struggle Still I’m standing in the rain Wearing all this shame
