[Verse 1 | piano, brushed snare, steel] Your old coat is where you left it, Your picture's hanging on the wall, Some nights I swear, I hear you laughing, Then silence comes, and takes it all, I've learned to smile across a table, While my heart breaks beneath my skin, I'm doing everything I'm able, Just holding on through all this hurt!!!! [Pre Chorus | bass lifts, harmonies enter] I bend, I shake, I lose my breath, But I ain't hit the bottom yet!!!!! [Chorus | full band, open kick, stacked harmonies] I'm holding it together, with a heart that's torn apart, Driving through the darkness, with your memory in my heart!!!! Every mile without you, feels like hell, I have to cross, But I won't let the pain become the only thing I have, Yeah, I cry, but I keep on moving, I get weak, but I keep choosing, To believe these broken pieces, still have something they are worth, I'm not over losing you, [No not over!!!!!] I'm just pulling through the hurt!!!! [Verse 2 | keyboard pad, steel forward] The world keeps turning, tell that next morning, Like nothing here had ever changed, The sun came through without a warning, And lit the emptiness, you made, I wore my brave face, like a mask!!!!, Though every thing was, coming loose, Somehow my hands kept reaching forward, When they had nothing left to lose!!!! [Pre Chorus | snare opens] I bend, I shake, I lose my breath But there is still some living left. [Chorus | full band, guitar fills] I'm holding it together, with a heart that's torn apart, Driving through the darkness, with your memory in my heart, Every mile without you, feels like hell I have to cross, But I won't let the pain become the only thing I've got, [No I won't!!!!] Yeah, I cry, but I keep moving, [Yeah, MOVING!!!!] I get weak, but I keep choosing, [ Yeah, CHOOSING!!!!] To believe these broken pieces, still have something they are worth, I'm not over losing you, [LOSING YOU!!!!] I'm just pulling through the hurt. [Bridge | piano and vocal, steel enters] Maybe healing ain't just leaving, Maybe turning loose ain't love, Maybe healing starts at dawn, When waking up is hard enough, I'll carry what you gave me, But the weight won't drag me down, I can miss you like the rain, And still find solid ground. [Final Chorus | key lift, harmonies peak] I'm holding it together, now the pieces start to fit, There's a little light ahead of me, and I'm walking into it, Every scar will tell the story, of the worst, I made it through, And the life that's waiting for me, doesn't mean forgetting you, Yeah, I cry, but I keep moving, [KEEP MOVING!!!!} I get weak, but I keep choosing, [YEAH, CHOOSING!!!!] And I know these broken pieces still have something they are worth,, I'm not over losing you, But I'm stronger than the hurt. [Yeah,] [Outro | piano and steel, vocal alone] I'm not over losing you, I'm just pulling through the hurt, One breath, one mile, one day at a time, I'm stronger than the hurt, [Yeah, stronger than the hurt!!!!] Stronger then the hurt!!!
