Fewer dreams

The house still knows her footsteps,

I just know the quiet

Same old smoke, same old dust,

Same old questions, don’t know how\.

Got a whole lot left to tell her,

But I keep it locked inside\.

Darlin’ don’t sound the same no more,

And I can’t figure out why\.

The coffee gets cold on the table,

The clock keeps dragging time\.

I keep telling myself I’m alright,

But I know damn well that’s a lie\.

I walk around like nothing’s wrong,

Like I ain’t got a thing to lose\.

But there’s a war going on inside me,

And I don’t know how to choose\.

Funny how the nights get long,

When all you’ve got is what went wrong\.

I still wake up, I still get by,

With fewer dreams behind these eyes\.

Funny how you can feel so much,

And still not feel you are enough\.

I keep on breathing, I keep on trying,

But there’s a part of me that’s tired of fighting\.

I never knew a heart could carry

So much it couldn’t say\.

Never knew you could miss somebody

While they’re still around each day\.

And the world keeps right on turning,

Like it don’t know what I’ve lost\.

Nobody sees the weight I carry ,

Nobody knows what it costs\.

Darlin’, you don’t hear the silence

When I’m lying here alone\.

You don’t feel the empty spaces

In a place that once felt home\.

I ain’t asking for a miracle,

Ain’t asking life to change\.

I’m just trying to find the man I was

Before everything felt strange\.

Funny how the nights get long,

When all you’ve got is what went wrong\.

I still wake up, I still get by,

With fewer dreams behind these eyes\.

Funny how you can feel so much,

And still not feel you are enough\.

I keep on breathing, I keep on trying,

But there’s a part of me that’s tired of fighting\.
