Lyrics
[Verse 1] I found your note beneath the coffee cup Ink run thin where the morning water stood It said, "don't wait for me to make this right" So i took the long road like i knew i should [Verse 2] The old ford coughed at the county line Pine trees leaned against a fading sky I kept your picture tucked inside my coat Not to turn around, just to know goodbye [Chorus] I’m still carrying what we couldn’t save A little bit of mercy, a little bit of shame If your heart ever asks where i went Tell it i was learning how to live again [Verse 3] At miller’s store, the radio played low A woman sang about a broken door The cashier said, "you look like rain today" I said, "that’s just a thing i’ve been before" [Chorus] I’m still carrying what we couldn’t save A little bit of mercy, a little bit of shame If your heart ever asks where i went Tell it i was learning how to live again [Bridge] Maybe time won’t make us strangers Maybe distance has a kinder hand I can bless the years behind us Without asking them to understand [Final chorus] I’m still carrying what we couldn’t save But the weight is getting lighter every day If your heart ever asks where i went Tell it i was learning how to live again Tell it i was learning how to live again [Outro] The road keeps opening past the county sign And for the first time, i don’t mind the miles
