Lyrics: Donovan Jury
[Verse 1]
The sunlight makes its way through the window
As I'm waking up from a-nother long night
And I reach out to touch your cold pillow
How I miss waking up to your eyes
And time rips the thread from my heart's final seam
As I’m makin’ my coffee and drawin’ hearts in the cream
I sit at the table and take my first drink
And pray this is only a dream

[Verse 2]
I throw away that empty bottle
Of last night's cheap red wine
I put the cork in the junk drawer next to your weddin’ ring and mine
Wash the glass and set it on that paper towel by the sink
This has been my routine as long as I can think
If I'm not at rock bottom then I'm right on the brink
Prayin’ that this is only a dream

[Chorus]
It's been three hundred days since till death did we part
And it still feels as fresh as shell and peas
Every day I sweep the pieces up from my broken heart
And pray this is only a dream
[instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
The bathtub drains the last water
As I put on the mask
Don't know why I even bother
When the makeup never lasts
And by this evenin’ that mascara will be dried into streams
When I'm scrollin’ on Facebook and eatin’ grilled cheese
I'll sit at the table and take my last drink
And pray this is only a dream

[Chorus]
It's been three hundred days since till death did we part
And it still feels as fresh as shell and peas
Every day I sweep the pieces up from my broken heart
And pray this is only a dream

[Outro]
Every day I sweep the pieces
Of my broken heart
And pray this is only a dream
