Lyrics
I pull in the drive, kill the engine slow
Sit there in the dark with nowhere to go
Used to feel you waitin' the second I was near
That want, that warmth, pullin' me clear
But the porch light's burnin' for nobody now
Get out of the truck, boots heavy on the ground
Hand on the screen door, no familiar sound
Walk in the house knowin' you're not there
I'm all alone now… without you here
Oh, my love, my heart, my every day
You were the reason I made it home safe
Never turned away when the world was cruel
Just held me close in that quiet way you do
Now the silence cuts where your presence used to play
I'm all alone now… without you here
Your bed by the fire still sits just the same
morning goes cold with only my name
I set out two plates out of habit, then stop
The quiet's so loud it's tearin' me up
I'd trade every sunrise for one more night
With your hand in mine in the soft porch light
I reach for the blanket we shared on the couch
Fingers close on empty, it hurts too much
The house feels wider, the nights drag on forever
Every shadow reminds me you're gone
Oh, my love, my heart, my every day
You were the reason I made it home safe
Never turned away when the world was cruel
Just held me close in that quiet way you do
Now the silence cuts where your presence used to play
I'm all alone now… without you here
I still talk to you when the hurt gets too loud
Say "good boy" to the dark like you're still around
Carried you gentle to that spot by the creek
Buried my best friend, my loyal heart, last week
Told you I'd see you again someday
But God, these days without my old dog
Are killin' me
You were my love, my heart, my every day
Truest companion I'll ever know, come what may
Never left my side, not once walked away
Loved me better than any soul ever could say
Now every breath feels borrowed and thin
