Misc Originals – Dani Allestad - Leaving Things Behind (Guitar)

Am
I see your shadow on the driveway,

F
like you never left at all.

C
I’ve been learning how the quiet

G
can feel louder than your call.

Am
I keep the porch light on at midnight,

F
hoping maybe you’ll come home.

C
Funny how the smallest things

G
are the ones that hurt the most.

Am
I still feel you in the doorway,

F
in the way the winter wind blows in.

C
And every song on the radio

G
sounds like what we could’ve been.

Am
I’ve been holding onto memories

F
like they’re something I can fold.

C
But nothing kills you slower

G
than the things you can’t let go.

F
I still reach for you at midnight,

G
even knowing that you’re gone.

Am
Heartache lingers like a shadow

C
in a house that feels all wrong.

F
I keep searching for the meaning,

G
trying hard to carry on.

Am
But missing you gets heavier

C
the more the nights drag on.

Am
I’m still holding

G
onto pieces

C
that you left behind.

Am
’Cause letting go

G
ain’t easy

C
when love won’t fade with time.

Am
I still walk down our old backroad,

F
when the evening turns to gold.

C
Trying hard to feel like someone

G
who ain’t breaking in the cold.

Am
And someday I might forgive you,

F
but tonight I’m far too tired.

C
Guess the hardest part of healing

G
is killing what’s expired.
