Missing You
Amy Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see the fear inside your eyes
It's so hard to walk away
I know that this feels like the end
Life never seems to let you win
But I'll be back someday
But I'm not even gone
In time we'll be together again
And it won't be long
Now everything goes up and down
And the world keeps spinning round and round
And still you're waiting there
I'll try to make it another night
And dream of you when I close my eyes
'Cause I'll be back someday
Now I'm already missing you
But I'm not even gone
In time we'll be together again
And it won't be long
Just hold it in
Don't let it go
You'll always live
Inside my soul
Now I'm already missing you
But I'm not even gone
In time we'll be together again
And it won't be
And it won't be long
Already missing you
In time we'll be together again
(In time we'll be together again)
And it won't be long
(And it won't be long)
Yeah, yeah

I don't want to say goodbye
I'm reluctant to bid you farewell
I can see the fear inside your eyes
I can sense you're apprehensive about my departure
It's so hard to walk away
It's not easy to leave you behind
I know that this feels like the end
I understand it feels final
Life never seems to let you win
It's almost always a struggle to succeed in life
But I'll be back someday
I promise to return eventually
Now I'm already missing you
I'm already feeling your absence
But I'm not even gone
Even though I'm not yet departed
In time we'll be together again
We'll reunite one day
And it won't be long
It won't take too long
Now everything goes up and down
Life is full of ups and downs
And the world keeps spinning round and round
The planet rotates endlessly
And still you're waiting there
However, you remain diligent and awaiting my return
I'll try to make it another night
I'll attempt to make it through another night without you
And dream of you when I close my eyes
I'll envision you when I close my eyes before sleeping
'Cause I'll be back someday
Because I'll return one day
Just hold it in
Keep your emotions under control
Don't let it go
Don't allow it to slip out of your grasp
You'll always live
You'll always exist
Inside my soul
Within my being
Already missing you
I'm already feeling your absence
In time we'll be together again
We'll reunite one day
And it won't be long
It won't take too long
