Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You still make two cups of coffee
Then remember
Then pour one down the sink
You talk to the air in the kitchen
Say
"You'd laugh at how much this hurts
I think"
There’s a dent on his side of the mattress
His shoes by the door like he's running late
You say
"If this is living now
Maybe I don't want to stay"
[Chorus]
But keep on breathing
One more breath
Keep on walking
One more step
You don't have to feel okay
Just don't you fade away
Keep on cursing at the sky
Keep those tears inside your eyes
If all you do today is stay
That's brave
So keep on breathing one more day
[Verse 2]
You slam every drawer in the kitchen
Say
"How dare you just leave me like this?"
You hate every sweet
Kind neighbor
Who hugs you too long
Says
"He's at peace"
You punch every promise he gave you
Till your knuckles are red from the fight
Then crawl to the edge of the silence
Turn on the smallest light
[Chorus]
And keep on breathing
One more breath
Keep on walking
One more step
You don't have to say you're fine
Just stay on this side of the line
Keep on yelling at his name
Let your anger feel the flame
If all you do tonight is stay
That's brave
So keep on breathing one more day
[Bridge]
He would hold your shaking shoulders
Say
"Baby
Don't you dare give in" (oh no)
He'd be right there in that doorway
Grinning that stubborn grin
So dance in the kitchen for both of you
In those old jeans he used to like
Let your heart break and beat anyway
Both can be true tonight
[Chorus]
So keep on breathing
One more breath
Keep on walking
One more step
You don't have to feel the sun
Just make it to the next one
Keep on talking to his shirt
Let that laughter mix with hurt
If all you do this life is stay
That's brave
So keep on breathing one more day
[Outro]
One more breath
One more step
If all you do
Love
Is stay
That's brave
So keep on breathing one more day

Style
Warm midtempo Americana-pop groove with brushed drums, upright bass, and lightly overdriven electric guitar; female vocals up front with soft harmonies on the chorus. Verses feel intimate and conversational, chorus opens into a hopeful, toe-tapping sway. Gentle organ pad blooms in the bridge and final hook for an emotional lift.

Prompt
I need a song for a female friend grieving the passing of her man. I need a song to help to soothe the angry pain and the “giving up” attitude. Perhaps a toe-tapper? Female voices only.
