Heart Still Lives

[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…
