Still Alive

Verse 1 I still reach for your side of the bed Like you might’ve just stepped outside Coffee’s on like you’re comin’ back in Lord, I still lie to my own mind There’s a picture hangin’ by the door Where we both still look like we tried I ain’t took it down… I just walk past Like it don’t cut me every time ⸻ Verse 2 I hear your laugh in a stranger’s voice At a table across the room Catch myself turnin’ halfway around Like I ain’t learned the truth Everybody says time heals things But they don’t say what it leaves behind Just a man who remembers too much And nowhere to put what died ⸻ Pre-Chorus There ain’t no preacher for this kinda loss No last words, no last goodbye ⸻ Chorus Love died somewhere between goodbye and dawn Ain’t no grave, ain’t no stone to lean on Just a memory I keep draggin’ around Like a ghost that won’t lay down Hardest thing I ever learned in my life… Love can die… and you’re still alive ⸻ Verse 3 I’ve tried whiskey, I’ve tried work I’ve tried stayin’ out too late Tried talkin’ to somebody new But they don’t know your name And it ain’t fair to bring ‘em in To a house where your shadow stays I’d just be lovin’ you through them And that ain’t a game I play ⸻ Bridge If heartbreak had a funeral I’d’ve shown up dressed in black But this just walks beside me And it ain’t never turnin’ back ⸻ Chorus (Lifted) Love died somewhere between goodbye and dawn Ain’t no grave, ain’t no stone to lean on Just a memory I keep draggin’ around Like a ghost that won’t lay down Hardest thing I ever learned in my life… Love can die… and you’re still alive ⸻ Outro Yeah the hardest thing I ever learned in my life… Is wakin’ up… When it should’ve taken me that night
