I Was Doing Fine

Thought I was doing fine Not great but getting by Coffee in the morning Didn’t think about you much The house stayed quiet The TV filled the space Even laughed at something stupid With people that don’t know your face Then somebody said your name tonight Just in passing conversation Like it didn’t mean a thing Thought I was doing fine Till I heard your name out loud Thought I was doing fine Till it echoed through this house Now the whole damn night Don’t feel the same somehow Yeah I thought I was doing fine Till I heard your name out loud Thought I moved on Thought I shut that door Funny how one small word Brings it back like before Yeah I thought I was doing fine Swore I was okay Till I heard your name out loud today Stopped by that grocery store The one we used to hate Grabbed that cereal you liked You always said tasted fake I stood there in the checkout line Holding that stupid box Felt like I was stealing something Just walking out with it Now the quiet in this house Don’t feel the way it did Sounds like something’s missing Thought I was doing fine Till I heard your name out loud Thought I was doing fine Till it echoed through this house Now the whole damn night Don’t feel the same somehow Yeah I thought I was doing fine Till I heard your name out loud Thought I moved on Thought I shut that door Funny how one small word Brings it back like before Yeah I thought I was doing fine Swore I was okay Till I heard your name out loud today The floorboards shift at midnight The fridge hum fills the air I keep thinking I hear your keys Somewhere on the stairs But it’s just the house settling Nothing at the door Thought I was doing fine Till I heard your name out loud Thought I was doing fine Till it echoed through this house Now the quiet in these rooms Feels twice as loud somehow Yeah I thought I was doing fine Till I heard your name out loud Thought I moved on Thought I closed that door Guess some kind of love Don’t ever really close Yeah I thought I was doing fine Swore I was okay Till I heard your name out loud today Thought I was doing fine Till I heard your name out loud Thought I was doing fine Till it echoed through this house
