A Year Like Ten

**A Year Like Ten**

**Verse 1**

I still count the days wrong

Like the calendar lied

Your coat is gone

But you're still by my side

I hear your voice in small things

In songs we used to know

The world kept moving forward

But I couldn't let you go

**Pre-Chorus**

People say time is kind

But it drags me through the floor

Every month becomes a lifetime

And I still turn like you called

**Chorus**

It's been a year like ten

Since I held you close

Since the world went quiet

Where I needed you most

And I keep breathing in

But I don't know when

This heart learned to live

Through a year like ten

**Verse 2**

I talk to you in passing

Like you just stepped away

I save up little stories

That only you would know

I try to be the strong one

I try to stand up straight

But love does not get smaller

Just because it came too late

**Pre-Chorus 2**

They say grief changes shape

But it wears your face somehow

Some days I almost reach you

Some days I don't know how

**Chorus**

It's been a year like ten

Since I held you close

Since the world went quiet

Where I needed you most

And I keep breathing in

But I don't know when

This heart learned to live

Through a year like ten

**Bridge**

If I could fold the distance

If I could bend the sky

I'd steal one more morning

Just to look into your eyes

But love is not an ending

It doesn't disappear

It walks beside the broken

And whispers, I am here

**Final Chorus**

It's been a year like ten

But you're still where I turn

In the way I keep going

In the love I had to learn

And I keep breathing in

Maybe that's how it begins

Learning how to carry

A year like ten

**Outro**

A year like ten

Still yesterday

Still everything

Still you, always
