Soul Khan - Morning Alone lyrics

Her family is three cats
A picture of her dead husband
Regrets nothing and she means that
Because she wanna be something other than
The other half of another man
Why repeat that? She’s got her own life now
She sleeps alone right now
Every day’s a weight lifted off
Her bones right now
Can’t let her friends know right now
It's only been a month how’d you
Let him go right now?

She lost him when it was a tossup between
A ventilator and a paper saying
Do not resuscitate him her world detonated
To dust she snuck away and lit up
Something that was mentholated and puffed

They wanna stand by the widow
Only when she sags like a willow
But she almost laughs at the casket like
"now why the hell I have to
Buy a dead man a pillow?"

They say this is the hard part
The wounds that never close
And even if they don’t scar
Everyone still knows

So she wait's so she wait's between space
And the taste of the morning alone
So she wait's, she wait's
So she wait's between space
And the taste of the morning alone

Now she’s wondering
Where’s the long term struggle
The only thing buggin her’s
The crossword puzzle a five letter word
You’re supposed to feel
When a loss has occurred
But before you’ve healed

That’s grief but it’s still not taking
Effect in her chest
So she still not breaking
Might say she’s a still life painting
Put her anywhere
But she’s still not changing

Cafe, coffee from Malta
Ashtray lookin like the Rock of Gibraltar
Thinking 'bout the path they
Walked from the altar
Her shrink tried to put her onto cymbalta

That’s for depressed folks
Might as well have told her
Ass to take a mentos and get ghost
‘cause she ain’t had a tear roll
Eyes dry as the pearls in her ear lobes
Where’d she get those?

That was for their anniversary
Before the surgery
He said he fought worse back in Germany
"don’t worry, "
He said, "it’s not gonna stop me"
I’ll be back for the crosswords and coffee

She tried to sip but
Her bottom lip’s trembling
Remembering what she probably should
Have said to him that’s a chance that she’s
Never gonna get again
Then it settles in and she breaks down
