LEARNING TO BREATH WITHOUT YOU

LEARNING HOW TO BREATH WITHOUT YOU

Verse 1:

You left your jacket on the back of my chair,

Still smells like your perfume hanging in the air.

I tried to pack it up, tried to let it go,

But every time I touch it, all the memories start to show.

Verse 2:

Coffee’s getting cold ’cause I stare at the door,

Half of me knows better, half keeps hoping for more.

Your footprints faded off my front porch floor,

But the ache you left behind ain’t leaving anymore.

Chorus:

’Cause you broke me clean in two,

Walked away like I meant nothing to you.

I’m drowning in the quiet you left behind,

Trying to make sense of a love gone blind.

I keep telling myself I’ll be okay someday…

But damn, it hurts.

Verse 3:

Neighbors keep asking why they don’t see your truck,

I tell ’em you’re gone, must’ve run out of luck.

Truth is, I’m the one who’s losing sleep every night,

Wrestling with the words we never got right.

Chorus:

’Cause you broke me clean in two,

Walked away like I meant nothing to you.

I’m drowning in the quiet you left behind,

Trying to make sense of a love gone blind.

I keep telling myself I’ll be okay someday…

But damn, it hurts.

Bridge:

Maybe time will stitch the pieces back,

Maybe pain fades when the nights turn black.

But right now, every sunrise stings,

And I’m still wearing your goodbye like a ring.

Final Chorus:

Yeah, you broke me clean in two,

Left me standing in the wreck you drew.

I’m learning how to breathe without your name,

Even if the air don’t feel the same.

I’ll find my strength… but tonight I’ll just say…

Damn, it hurts.
