Cold cup of coffee, stale cigarette
Sitting here in the living room
Talking to someone out in the kitchen
Who's been gone since way last June

'Cause it just ain't hit me yet
Just how gone from me you are
No, it just ain't hit me yet
But when it does, it's gonna break my heart

Walking around like you're by my side
Planning things for us to do
Talk to your pillow, smell your perfume
Close my eyes and I'm loving you

'Cause it just ain't hit me yet
Just how gone from me you are
No, it just ain't hit me yet
But when it does, it's gonna break my heart

No, it just ain't hit me yet
Just how gone from me you are
No, it just ain't hit me yet
But when it does, it's gonna break my heart
