Lyrics
[Intro]
(Instrumental)
[Verse 1]
I left the lights on in your room
Like you might walk in any time
Your coffee cup, your cheap perfume
Still messing with this heart of mine
The walls still know the things we said
The jokes, the fights, the late-night cries
I changed my phone, I moved my bed
But not the place where love still hides
[Pre-Chorus]
They told me time would do its part
But time don’t touch a stubborn heart
[Chorus]
I’m breathing here, but I’m not home
My body’s warm, my soul is gone
Every road just bends me back
To where my heart still lives with you
I laugh with friends, I play along
But something in me’s always wrong
No matter where I try to move
That’s where my heart still lives with you
[Post-Chorus]
(Instrumental)
[Verse 2]
I see your face in strangers’ eyes
In every crowd, in every street
I tell myself it’s just my mind
But damn, it feels a little too real
You said we’ll see what time will do
Like love’s a thing you can delay
But some goodbyes don’t fade to blue
They bleed a little every day
[Pre-Chorus]
I learned to function, not to feel
I learned to fake what’s fake and real
[Chorus]
I’m breathing here, but I’m not home
I built a life I walk alone
Every step just pulls me back
To where my heart still lives with you
I tried to love, I really tried
But every kiss feels borrowed time
No matter what I say or do
That’s where my heart still lives with you
[Bridge]
If love’s a ghost then I’m possessed
By every word we never said
If I could choose I’d stay instead
In all the things we almost had
I packed my bags, I changed my plans
I even learned to smile again
But some hearts don’t follow commands
They stay right where they first broke in
[Final Chorus]
I’m breathing here, but I’m not whole
Half of me you’ll always own
Every road still leads me back
To where my heart still lives with you
I might move on, I might survive
I might look strong for all my life
But deep inside, it’s always true
That’s where my heart still lives with you
[Outro]
Still lives…
Still lives…
