Still got a heart

Verse 1

There’s a picture in a drawer I never open,

A house I still drive by in my mind,

Used to think forever was a promise,

Turns out forever’s just a word sometimes.

I gave everything I had to keep it together,

Still watched it all come falling down,

Now I’m learning some things you can’t fix

No matter how hard you try to stick around.

Pre-Chorus

So I work another long week,

Put another tank of gas in this truck,

Everybody thinks I’m doing fine,

Hell, maybe I just got good at covering it up.

Chorus

But I still got a heart,

Even if it’s been through hell,

Still got a little faith

I ain’t completely lost myself.

I still love my kids like crazy,

Still thank God when the sun comes up,

Still find a little peace

When the river gets quiet and the stars light up.

Yeah, I’ve got some scars

That I don’t talk about,

Got some memories I wish

I could burn right out.

But if you ask me what’s left

When the whole damn world falls apart—

I’m still standing,

I’m still breathing,

And I still got a heart.

Verse 2

Sometimes I miss the man I used to be,

Before I learned that love could leave a bruise,

Before I started second-guessing everything,

Before trusting somebody felt like something I could lose.

And there are nights I want a little freedom,

Just me, these backroads, and the dark,

No one asking where I’m going,

No one asking why I’m not talking.

But then I hear those kids laughing,

And I remember who I’m fighting for,

Maybe I didn’t give them the life I wanted,

But I can still give them something more.

Pre-Chorus

So I keep putting one foot forward,

Even when I don’t know where it goes,

You don’t have to know the whole damn road

To know you’re supposed to keep moving.

Chorus

’Cause I still got a heart,

Even if it’s been through hell,

Still got a little faith

I ain’t completely lost myself.

I still love my kids like crazy,

Still thank God when the sun comes up,

Still find a little peace

When the river gets quiet and the stars light up.

Yeah, I’ve got some scars

That I don’t talk about,

Got some memories I wish

I could burn right out.

But if you ask me what’s left

When the whole damn world falls apart—

I’m still standing,

I’m still breathing,

And I still got a heart.

Bridge

Maybe God don’t waste a heartbreak,

Maybe broken ain’t the end.

Maybe sometimes losing everything

Is how you find yourself again.

I ain’t asking for the old days,

I ain’t trying to turn back time.

I just want to wake up one morning

And finally feel like this life is mine.

Final Chorus

Yeah, I still got a heart,

And it’s beating like hell,

Got a little more wisdom

From the stories I don’t tell.

I’ve got my kids beside me,

I’ve got God up above,

And somewhere down these country roads

I’m gonna find what I call love.

Let the past keep its memories,

Let the hurt fade into scars,

I ain’t who I was back then—

But I know who we are.

I’m still standing,

I’m still breathing,

I’m still reaching through the dark…

Yeah, I lost a lot of things—

But I still got a heart.

O
