Keep Breathing* --- Tamicus

[Verse 1] His keys still hang On the rack by the door They don’t open anything anymore Dust on the photo Like it’s keeping time Laugh in the walls But the room stays silent I talk to the shadows Pretend they’re mine [Chorus] How do I keep breathing When the air still tastes like him? How do I keep moving When the effort feels so grim? I sleep in our king-sized bed alone And it feels so wrong So wrong Tell me how a heart keeps beating When its echo’s gone [Verse 2] Calendar pages Eight months of aching I count them like bruises Colorless and sore His clothes still hang in the closet And if I let them go I feel I’ll just be grieving more [Chorus] How do I keep breathing When the air still tastes like him? How do I keep moving When the effort feels so grim? I sleep in our king-sized bed alone And it feels so wrong So wrong Tell me how a heart keeps beating When its echo’s gone [Bridge] Everyone says “Time will do the healing” (oh) But they never stay For the long slow evenings So I make this promise Quiet Small Unseen I’ll carry both our stories Till I remember what hope means [Chorus] How do I keep breathing Maybe just one breath at a time How do I keep moving If I can’t step forward I’ll just survive Talk to him out loud Say his name and hold on strong This is how a heart keeps beating Loving someone Who’s gone
