Last night I left the kitchen singing fulsome prison blues
I'd been up doing the dishes, drinking whiskey like we used to
You were Johnny, I was June, we'd fix it all up with a tune
I was a fool for thinking this would be that easy
Baby, I'm still learning how to lose you
Like the kickback from a smoking gun, it takes some getting used to
And I can't un-pull the trigger, I can't make you call
And the evening's gone, I can't make you call

These ghosts I treat like lovers ain't been helping me at all
I stay up all night for fear of talking in my sleep
Cause if I dream about your memory, I'll just beg you not to leave
And the mornings don't bring me sleep
Not like you could do
When I would only ever brave the day by waking up with you
Cause baby, I'm still learning how to lose you
Like the kickback from a smoking gun, it takes some getting used to
And I can't un-pull the trigger
I can't make you call
And these ghosts I treat like lovers ain't been helping me at all
Now I'm months from where I started
But no further down the road I've come to see you
They said, find yourself a new man
I'm just doing what I'm told
But he's the dreads down in my coffee
He's settled and he's cold
Yeah, he gets me out of bed
But man, it tastes like getting old
Cause baby, I'm still learning how to lose you
Like the kickback from a smoking gun, it takes some getting used to


And I can't un-pull the trigger
I can't make you call
And these ghosts I treat like lovers ain't been helping me at all
Baby, I'm still learning how to lose you
Baby, I'm still learning how to lose you


I'm still learning how to lose you Baby, I'm still learning how to lose you
Baby, I'm still learning how to lose you
