Woke up this mornin’, rain cryin’ on my windowpane,
Yeah I woke up this mornin’, rain cryin’ on my windowpane.
This empty house is moanin’, whisperin’ your name again.
Your perfume on the pillow still hangs like a ghost in the air,
That sweet perfume on the pillow still lingers like you’re standing there.
But when I reach out in the darkness, baby, my hand just finds the cold, lonely air.
The kettle whistles softly, but I don’t pour a drop of tea,
The radio sings love songs, but they don’t mean a thing to me.
Since the day you walked away, Lord, I ain’t who I used to be.
’Cause I’m lost without her, like a ship without the tide,
Yeah I’m lost without my darlin’, with no stars left to guide.
She was my mornin’ sunshine—now I’m wanderin’ through the night.
I’m lost without her love… and nothin’ in this world feels right.
I still find your hair ties tangled in the drawer by the bed,
Little signs you loved me once, but the truth fills me with dread.
’Cause every trace that you were here just reminds me you’ve fled.
The neighbors keep on askin’, “Son, how you holdin’ on?”
They don’t know each breath I take feels heavy, tired, and wrong.
It’s hard to stand tall when the love you lived for’s gone.
The streetlight by the corner flickers like it’s mournin’ too,
I walk the midnight sidewalk hopin’ I might dream of you.
But every shadow on the pavement just feels cold and blue.
I’d give up all my seasons just to warm you one more night,
I’d trade the sun forever just to hold you ’til daylight.
But the time we had slipped through my fingers like water in the fight.
Oh, I pray to the heavens, but the heavens don’t answer me,
I beg the wind to bring you back, but it just sighs through the trees.
Girl, you were my soul’s only rhythm—and now I’m fallin’ off the beat.
I’m lost without her, like a river without a flow,
Yeah I’m lost without my baby, like a rose without the glow.
And the world keeps spinnin’ on, but I’m movin’ slow.
I’m lost without her love… more than she’ll ever know.
I still keep your letter folded in my old guitar case,
The ink is gettin’ faded, but I know every word you’d trace.
Sometimes I read it aloud just to feel your voice in this place.
I tried to write you back, but the tears blurred every line,
I tried to call your number, but the silence felt like a sign.
Guess some doors close forever—guess some roads don’t realign.
I sit on the porch at dawn waitin’ for the sun to rise,
The sky breaks open slowly, but it don’t brighten up my eyes.
’Cause every sunrise since you left just feels like another goodbye.
So I’ll keep strummin’ this old twelve-bar ’til my heart remembers how to heal,
Keep singin’ to the darkness, tryin’ to find a truth I can feel.
But the nights are long and lonely when love no longer feels real.
And maybe someday the pain will loosen the grip it’s got on me,
Maybe someday you’ll come back, or I’ll learn to set you free…
But tonight I’m lost without you—
And the blues is all I’ll ever be.
