Three Years and Counting

[Verse 1] Three years of being without you Clock hands cutting through the dark Three years not hearing your voice Just your laughter in my heart Three years reaching for your shadow Air where your shoulders used to be Three years of saying “I love you” To a picture staring back at me [Chorus] Three years and I’m still calling your name Every sunrise Every small quiet ache I hold on ’cause letting go feels like losing you twice Three years and I’m still standing my ground Every broken system trying to knock me down For our daughter For your memory I’m fighting for justice I’m not backing out [Verse 2] Three years of missing her smile Her little hands that look like yours Three years tracing all her questions Why you’re not walking through that door Three years sitting in those courtrooms Truth weighed down in paper piles Three years learning how to breathe Between the fury and her smile [Chorus] Three years and I’m still calling your name Every sunrise Every small quiet ache I hold on ’cause letting go feels like losing you twice Three years and I’m still standing my ground Every broken system trying to knock me down For our daughter For your memory I’m fighting for justice I’m not backing out [Bridge] If love was enough You’d be here tonight (right here) But love is the reason I stay in this fight Every tear Every doubt I lay them down at your side ’Cause you deserved better And she deserves light [Chorus] Three years and I’m still calling your name Every sunrise Every small quiet ache I hold on ’cause letting go feels like losing you twice Three years and I’m still standing my ground Every broken system trying to knock me down For our daughter For your memory I’m fighting for justice I’m not backing out [Outro] Three years of being without you Three years of holding on tight ’Til the truth finally speaks for you I’ll be here I’ll be here Still ready to fight
