"Drowning" lyrics
"Drowning"
Still got your number in my phone and even though you don't know I listen
I still call and wait 'til the tone just to hear you say "Leave a message"
Since you've been gone I've had to find different ways to grieve
There's days that I don't even want it on my mind
But tonight I'm weak
So I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscing
By myself, I can't help that all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say missing you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning
Yeah I know you're in a better place
And one day I'll see you again
But it's killing me we can't be face to face
I miss my best friend
So, tonight I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscing
By myself, I can't help that all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say missing you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning
Yeah, tonight I'm drowning
I know it's a part of life
But I wasn't ready to say goodbye
So, tonight I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscing
By myself, I can't help that all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say missing you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning
Yeah, tonight I'm drowning

He noted after the performance on his Facebook page, "Last week, I debuted my new tune 'Drowning' at the Grand Ole Opry and broke down in the middle of it. Since then so many people have shared stories of loved ones lost and how they have connected to this song. I want you guys to have this one, and make it your own, so I'm going to release it this Friday."
