Still Above The Ground

When she left me I was sure I would just lay down and die Had only breath to curse her sob and ask the question why Yeah it still cuts me deep inside and her ghost is all around And although it's quite a struggle man hey I'm still above the ground The smile's a little off and the face is drawn and thin The mind is always racing wrestling with what's been happening Yeah my pace has slowed and my eyes they drift to places I used to know I wear a mask to hide the pain but somehow it always shows People get concerned when they see me around town Well I tell em not to worry none 'cause I'm still above the ground Still above the ground still above the ground Yeah I tell em not to worry none 'cause I'm still above the ground I'm working more than I usually do to keep this cracked heart busy The drinks are coming faster too and the sleep that just ain't easy But I'm up each day with the morning light carrying my sorrows around My arms are tired and my soul it waivers but I'm still above the ground My smile's a little off and my face is drawn and thin My mind is always racing wrestling with what's been happening Yeah my pace has slowed in my eyes they drift to places I used to know I wear a mask to hide the pain but somehow it always shows So people get concerned when they see me around town I tell 'em not to worry none 'cause I'm still above the ground Now I bet she'd be surprised to learn her absence hasn't killed me It knocked me to my knees at first I was stunned afraid and lonely But the days had passed and I got up and held on to what I found It ain't as bad as I thought it was 'cause I'm still above the ground Still above the ground still above the ground Well although it's quite a struggle man hey I'm still above the ground Tell him not to worry none because I'm still above the ground
