Coffee drinkin' outside at 8 a.m
Eyes tired, but the sunlight's pourin'
Newspaper, empty bed
You're not my first thing in the mornin'
New outlet down the lane
More things to take up most my time
A re-run 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 growin'
In spaces that you used to be
And you're somewhere else
Out there and maybe not even missin' me
And I wish you well, and you hope the same thing
Leavin' 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
