I Won't Be Over Today By Tomorrow

Still got your coffee cup sitting by the sink,

I can't throw it out, I can't even think.

Neighbors say "hey", but I just wave,

A smile's too heavy to fake today.

I won't be over today by tomorrow,

some things you can't let go of, like sorrow.

It's not a switch, its a slow-burning fight,

One step at a time through a long lonely night,

I won't be over today by tomorrow.

Your jackets hanging where you left it last,

like it's waiting for you to come rushing back.

I wrote your name in the dust on the floor,

I guess some goodbyes can't find the door.

I won't be over today by tomorrow,

Grief ain't a straight road, it's valleys of sorrows.

I'll walk through the dark with your voice in my head,

Learning to live what we left unsaid.

I won't be over today by tomorrow.

Maybe someday I'll wake up and breathe,

Without you haunting every part of me.

But tonight you're ghost I still call home,

Learning love doesn't leave, even when you're alone.

I won't be over today by tomorrow,

still chasing peace in the wreckage and sorrow.

I'll carry your shadow, I'll bear the pain,

Until the storm inside me forgets your name.

No, I won't be over today by tomorrow.

No, I won't be over today

Not tomorrow

Not yet.
