Atticus Jones - Still Above The Ground Lyrics

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
