(Verse 1)
Everybody says that time will heal,
But they don’t know how this heartbreak feels.
She’s still here, still breathing air,
But the love we had ain’t there.
Every time I see our children’s faces,
I remember all the dreams we made.
The woman who made me a father,
The woman I pushed away.
I know the hurt I caused her,
I know the tears she cried.
And now I’m left with memories
That keep me up at night.
(Chorus)
‘Cause grieving someone who’s still alive,
Is a different kind of dying inside.
She’s still here, but she’s not mine,
And that truth breaks me every night.
She found the strength to walk away,
I’m still trying to find my way.
And losing the woman I still love
Feels like a funeral every day.
(Verse 2)
I’ve tried moving on, I’ve really tried,
But nobody compares, no matter how hard I try.
Every laugh reminds me of her,
Every road leads back to us.
The truth is if she never left,
I’d still be the man I used to be.
Her walking away opened my eyes
To the man I needed to be.
And seeing our kids happy now,
I know she played a part in that.
Even through all the pain I caused,
She never stopped loving them back.
(Bridge)
The hardest part ain’t being lonely,
The hardest part is knowing why.
I was the storm that broke our home,
I watched our forever die.
I can’t take back the hurt I caused,
I can’t rewrite yesterday.
All I can do is become better
And live with my mistakes.
(Final Chorus)
‘Cause grieving someone who’s still alive,
Is a different kind of dying inside.
She’s still here, but she’s not mine,
And that truth breaks me every night.
She’ll always be the woman
Who made me who I am today.
And a part of me will always mourn
The family that slipped away.
Yeah…
A part of me will always mourn…
The family that slipped away.
