Still

Still - Charlie Walmsley

I still drink a lot
But I drink a lot less than I used to
You saw my worst days
I thought she was hot
But she's just a hot mess with a hairdo
My worst mistake

Your closet is still empty and clean
Just in case, well you know what I mean

You saw in me something I’d never been
Before or again
I saw in you something more than a thrill
A new life to build
What I saw in you, I see in you still

I still get my kicks
But I get my kicks watching the Cubs game
No more haunting the town
I still need a fix
But I just need a fix for this back pain
I put that other stuff down

Your chair is still there at the table
I can still hear you scolding my elbows

You saw in me something I’d never been
Before or again
I saw in you something more than a thrill
A new life to build
What I saw in you, I see in you still

Redemption was laid at my doorstep
But I wasn’t prepared
I fumbled and stumbled with each step
I just wasn’t there
In the short time we shared

I still think about
What I thought about when we were lovers
If I’d just known somehow
I still wish we would have
Still think we could have gone farther
With what I know now

I can still see your note on the mirror
In lipstick you drew little tears

You saw in me something I’d never been
Before or again
I saw in you something more than a thrill
A new life to build
What I saw in you, I see in you still
I see in you still
