[Verse 1]
I'll get up and help with the yard work
I let the outside noises always pull me under
And if I take some time to cry and just recover
Then maybe I can be there for my mother
And all those times are crystal clear
It feels so safe to disappear

[Chorus]
How will I get through this?
Shield myself in the color of your likeness
How am I still new to this?
Cover myself in the shade where I spread your ashes

[Verse 2]
I mean it whеn I say always
I let the outside noisеs lead me the wrong way
There's no success without the test of leaving you behind
I will meet you there when I'm done with here
You're always by my side

[Chorus]
How will I get through this?
Shield myself in the color of your likeness
How am I still new to this?
Cover myself in the shade where I spread your ashes
[Bridge]
I mean it when I say always
See it clear through the salt in your eyes
There's no other choice that I see
I just gotta move on now (I just gotta move on now)
I hear you calling me somehow (I hear you calling me somehow)
Know that I'll keep you around (I just gotta move on now)
But I don't even know how
You know you gotta move on now

[Chorus]
How will I get through this?
Shield myself in the color of your likeness
How am I still new to this?
Cover myself in the shade where I spread your ashes
