[Verse 1] Your coffee mug is still beside the sink Blue denim jacket hanging where you left it I took the long way past your parents' farm Just to feel the gravel under my wheels again You said forever with your hand in mine Then packed your truck before the sun came up Now every mile marker knows your name And every quiet room keeps calling your bluff [Pre-Chorus] I tried to pray, I tried to drink I tried to blame the missing link But the truth cuts clean and cruel: I lost my heart when I lost you [Chorus] I lost the love of my life Lost the best thing I ever held tight Now this old town looks too wide With your side of the bed gone cold tonight Hey, hey, can you hear me calling? Hey, hey, I keep on falling I lost the love of my life And I don't know how to make it right [Verse 2] Your picture's tucked behind the sun visor Your favorite song still lives inside the dash I bought two tickets out to Tennessee Then remembered you were never coming back The neighbors ask if I'm doing okay I smile and say I'm taking it day by day But your name is thunder in my chest And this empty house won't let me rest [Pre-Chorus] I tried to pray, I tried to drink I tried to outrun everything But the truth cuts clean and cruel: I lost my heart when I lost you [Chorus] I lost the love of my life Lost the best thing I ever held tight Now this old town looks too wide With your side of the bed gone cold tonight Hey, hey, can you hear me calling? Hey, hey, I keep on falling I lost the love of my life And I don't know how to make it right [Bridge] If I could turn that night around I'd lay my pride six feet underground I'd hold you close, I'd tell the truth There ain't a road that leads me back to you [Final Chorus] I lost the love of my life Lost the best thing I ever held tight Now let the whole backroad testify I still see your headlights every night Hey, hey, can you hear me calling? Hey, hey, I keep on falling I lost the love of my life And I'll carry that loss till the day I die [Outro] Your coffee mug is still beside the sink And I still leave the porch light on for you
