Just Me Now

I wake up early, coffee on Sun coming through the blinds There’s quiet where your voice once was But I’m alright most of the time I fixed a few things in this old life That used to fall apart Turns out I’m stronger than I thought I Just didn’t know where to start I’m standing in places lately We only talked about before Doors I used to see shut tight Are opening like never before I should be proud of where I’m headed And most days I believe it’s true But every step that works out right Feels different without you I’m doing fine without you That much I can admit But there’s a part of me that still Wishes it didn’t come to this The things we pictured happening Are finally coming true Just not the way I saw them then Now it’s only me coming through I know it’s foolish to wonder If things could turn around Some roads close without warning And don’t circle back to town I know I won’t see you again Or hear your voice somehow Still every now and then I think About the way it was back then Life’s getting closer to the picture I once held in my mind I’m walking straight toward everything We thought we’d someday find And I’m alright with where I’m going I’ve made peace with the truth But every now and then I still wish It didn’t happen without you. Sometimes when the night gets quiet And there’s nothing left to do My mind drifts back to small things Like the way I laughed with you I don’t wait around for chances Or for you to come back through I know some doors stay closed for good No matter what you do So I’ll keep moving toward the life That’s slowly coming into view Still wishing it had been with you. But im still doing fine that much I know is true
