I Still See You Everywhere (Stripped Version)

Few years gone, feels like ten

You got your smile back, found love again

He looks at you like I once did

While I'm just tryna make sense of it

There's a photo in my phone from last July

You, me, and our boy — "yeah", we looked alright

But time don't care, it just keeps movin'

And I'm stuck here, still bruisin'

You're not callin', you're not cryin'

You're out there livin' while I'm tryin'

But I still see you everywhere

In that Facebook post, that midnight stare

In our son's laugh, in the clothes you wore

In the ghost that's sleepin' on my floor

I tell myself I'm finally fine

'Til your name wrecks my peace of mind

I just want the love that you found

But I'm still haunted by our old house

You moved on, yeah, I watched you go

Like a rearview mirror in the snow

Sometimes I think I'm doin' okay

'Til I smell your perfume on a summers day

You ain't comin' back, I know that truth

But tell my heart that — it still needs proof

I ain't bitter, just tired and broke

Feelin' like your second-hand smoke

You raise our boy and I hide the hurt

But some days, it still burns worse

Cause I still see you everywhere

In that late-night song, in that empty chair

In our son's eyes, in his Sunday grin

You're gone but you're still under my skin

I tell myself I'm movin' on

'Til that memory hits too strong

I just want the peace that he gives you

But I'm stuck in what we've been through

If pain was love, then I've loved you right

But I'd trade the tears for sleep tonight

Guess some ghosts don't know they're dead

Till you stop checkin' where they've been

Yeah, I still see you everywhere

In that birthday card, in that vacant stare

In the way our boy says "mom"

Like he don't know why I'm holdin' on

I tell myself I'm almost there

But I breathe you in like midnight air

I just want a heart that don't break

Every time I see your face

The years gone, but it ain't fair

I still see you… everywhere
