this ain't living

it's been over ten thousand minutes since you said goodbye

and i've thought about that moment at least a million times

you were standing at the kitchen counter

with a single tear in your eye

the day you changed my life

well

i'm still going through the motions

well

i'm still taking in the air

oh

my heart's still beating

i'm still dreaming

just like when you were here

but something's wrong

something's missing

and it doesn't seem fair

i'm doing all that i can do to make it through

well

i'm still breathing

but this ain't living without you

well

i can't smell the roses and the rainbows are just shades of grey

and all those things that made me happy just don't move me the same

i can't help but remember us laughing

the way i held you every night

you made my whole world come alive

well

i'm still going through the motions

well

i'm still taking in the air

oh

my heart's still beating

i'm still dreaming

just like when you were here

but something's wrong

something's missing

and it doesn't seem fair

i'm doing all that i can do to make it through

well

i'm still breathing

but this ain't living without you

well

i was minding my own business

down at our favourite bookstore

contemplating my own existence

when you walked through that door

you asked how i was doing

so i did my best to lie

but i wanted so bad to tell you

what i really felt inside

well

i'm just taking in the air

oh

my heart's still beating

i'm still dreaming

just like when you were here

but something's wrong

something's missing

and it doesn't seem fair

i'm doing all that i can do to make it through

well

i'm still breathing

but this ain't living without you

well

i'm still breathing

but this ain't living without you
