Lyrics
(Verse 1) I found your lighter under the couch today
Half out of fluid, same scratch on the side
I stared at it for 17 minutes
Then put it back in the drawer where I hide
I still brake for that yellow sign
12 miles out of town, where you always made me slow down
(Pre-Chorus)
Everybody says it gets easier
They don't lie and they don't mean it
They don't tell you that easier
Just means you get used to how heavy it is
(Chorus)
I'm not still in love with you
I'm just still used to you
I don't lay awake and cry
I just don't know how to be alive
In this house that's too damn quiet
With all the space you didn't take when you left
(Verse 2) I crossed your name off the grocery list last week
Scratched it out three times before it would stick
The bartender still asks how you are
I just smile and say you're living far
I still leave the door unlocked sometimes
Old habit dies harder than the love did
(Pre-Chorus)
Everybody says it gets easier
They don't lie and they don't mean it
They don't tell you that easier
Just means you get used to how heavy it is
(Chorus)
I'm not still in love with you
I'm just still used to you
I don't lay awake and cry
I just don't know how to be alive
In this house that's too damn quiet
With all the space you didn't take when you left
(Bridge)
I saw you at the Walmart last month
You had your new girl holding your hand
I hid in the cereal aisle for ten minutes
And nobody even noticed I ran
I wasn't sad that you moved on
I was sad that I was still exactly the same
You got to start all over again
And I just got to keep all the blame
(Breakdown)
You left a hoodie, a lighter, a key
A hundred thousand tiny useless things
None of them are big enough to cry over
So I just carry them around
(Outro/Chorus)
I'm not still in love with you
I'm just still used to you
I don't lay awake and cry
I just don't know how to be alive
In this life that's too damn quiet
With all the space you didn't take when you left
(Outro)
