Morning arrives and I stare at your chair
Coffee goes cold like nobody cares
Your jacket still hangs where you left it that day
I walk through the house but you're so far away
I talk to your picture like you hear every word
My voice feels heavy, my chest always hurts
The clock on the wall feels cruel as it ticks
Each second without you just quietly twists
I reach for my phone just to call you again
Forgetting the truth I relive now and then

You not being here is killing me slow
I wish I was there with you
Can't take this anymore
This ache in my heart just continues to grow
You not being here is killing me slow

I sit by the window, your loved in the spring
Remembering laughter and the simplest things
Your voice in my memory plays like a thread
Sewing the pieces of words you once said
The bed feels too large, the nights feel too long
I hold on to pillows pretending you're strong
I search for your warmth in the sheets where you lay
But all that I find is the cold of the day
I close both my eyes just to see you once more
But waking reminds me what life has in store

You not being here is killing me slow
I wish I was there with you
Can't take this anymore
This ache in my heart just continues to grow
You not being here is killing me slow

If heaven has windows I hope you can see
How much of my soul you carried with me
I'd trade every breath just for one more hello
One last embrace before letting you go
You not being here is killing me slow
I wish I was there with you
Can't take this anymore
I carry your love everywhere that I go
You not being here is killing me slow
I whisper goodnight like you're still in the room
And sit with the quiet that fills up the gloom
