how do you get by?

Missed my exit sign again

I kept driving just to see where I'd end

Streetlights flicker like they're keeping score

I used to care, now I don't

Found your sweater in my trunk last week

It still smells like winter and shitty weed

I held it like it still might breathe then left it out on someone else's street

I tried to feel alive by staying out all night

Kissing strangers and pretending it was fine

The rush wore off like a pill too light

I came home every night

Everything's not right, everything's not right

How do you get by?

I watched the lights die in a Walgreens parking lot

Sat in my car while the world kept passing by

Kept the engine running just to hear a sound

Stared at my hands like they might help me out

Your voicemail's still in my deleted bin

I haven't played it but I know how it ends

I still flinch when I still hear your voice

I still check the door like you might walk in

I tried to feel alive by staying out all night

Kissing strangers and pretending it was fine

The rush wore off like a pill too light

I came home every night

Everything's not right, everything's not right

How do you get by?

Some nights I think I'm healing

Some nights I hope I'm not

There's comfort in the ache

In knowing what I've lost

Some nights I think I'm healing

Some nights I hope I'm not

There's comfort in the ache

In knowing what I've lost

I tried to feel alive by staying out all night

Kissing strangers and pretending it was fine
