Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We set one more place at the table
Then packed it back into the drawer
Another frame turned face down
On a shelf by the front door
Keep count on my fingers
Of the people that I’ve lost
Feels like I keep losing pieces
And I’m scared to add the cost
[Chorus]
But I’m not the only one still breathing
I’m not the only heart that breaks
There’s kids in the backseat asking
Why the grown-ups shake
There’s aunts in the kitchen praying
Through dishes and coffee cups
We’re the ones still here, still standing
Learning how to live again for us
[Verse 2]
I folded that tiny blanket
Put the paint cans back away
Picked out names we never used
They still echo in my day
I see you in their freckles
In the jokes they’re making now
Every goodbye carved a hollow
We’re just trying to fill somehow
[Chorus]
’Cause I’m not the only one still breathing
I’m not the only heart that breaks
There’s kids in the backseat asking
Why the grown-ups shake
There’s aunts in the kitchen praying
Through dishes and coffee cups
We’re the ones still here, still standing
Learning how to live again for us
[Bridge]
Some days it’s just one small thing
Like tying tiny shoes
Reading one more bedtime story
Is the bravest thing we do
We carry your names like candles
Through the dark that you left behind
Every step we take together
Is a promise to survive
[Chorus]
We’re not the only ones still breathing
We’re not the only hearts that break
Those kids in the backseat laughing
Teach us what it’s gonna take
All the aunts in the kitchen singing
Over coffee and washed-up mugs
We’re the ones still here, still standing
Learning how to live again for us
Yeah, we’re the ones still here, still standing
Learning how to live again for us
