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
