it doesn’t kill me anymore

Coffee drinking outside at 8 a.m.

Eyes tired, but the sunlight's pouring

Newspaper, empty bed

You're not my first thing in the morning

New outlet down the lane

More things to take up most my time

A rerun to end the day

You're not the last thing before I close my eyes

And it used to eat me alive

But it doesn't kill me anymore

It doesn't hold my heart for ransom like it did before

And sometimes it hits me, that's for sure

But it doesn't kill me anymore

That time is erasing

Time is erasing

The cavity you left in me

Cavity you left in me

There are vines that are growing

In spaces that you used to be

And you're somewhere else

Out there, and maybe

Not even missing me

And I wish you well

And you hope the same thing

Leaving each other be

And it used to eat me alive

But it doesn't kill me anymore

It doesn't hold my heart for ransom like it did before

And sometimes it hits me, that's for sure

But it doesn't kill me anymore
