Half the World I Needed

Verse 1

Woke up at four with the phone in my hand

Dialing a number that don't ring no more

Mama says time is a healer

But time's just a thief at my door

I kept your jacket hanging on the chair

Like you'd walk in and shrug it back on

Tell me how the whole world keeps spinning

When the half that I needed is gone

Pre-Chorus

And I screamed at the sky till my throat went raw

Cursed every god that I ever saw

Chorus

I'm still breathing

Barely holding on

I'm still fighting

Every single dawn

I don't want to carry this alone

But I'm still breathing

So I'll keep going

Verse 2

Anger came cheap and it stayed for the winter

Turned the whole house into a fist

Then the quiet moved in like a tenant

And I forgot what it felt like to exist

There was a night I sat down with the pills

Told myself nobody's missing me

Then I heard your voice like an old refrain

Saying boy get up you're stronger than this

Pre-Chorus

So I asked for help through the shaking and shame

Said your name out loud just to stay in the game

Chorus

I'm still breathing

Barely holding on

I'm still fighting

Every single dawn

I don't want to carry this alone

But I'm still breathing

So I'll keep going

Bridge

Forgiveness is the hardest road I know

For you for me for every ghost

Courage ain't the absence of the fear

It's getting up when nothing's left to hold

Chorus

I'm still breathing

Barely holding on

I'm still fighting

Every single dawn

I don't want to carry this alone

But I'm still breathing

So I'll keep going

Outro

I'm still breathing

Yeah I'm still here

I'm still breathing

So I'll keep going
