Missing
The Relationship Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm missing, missing the way that you stroke your hair
Missing the rage of your windy stare
I miss you yea
I'm missing and wishing you again
But me
I thought I, had much more fun being on my own
Not to fun spending Christmas alone
Checking my phone
I'm missing wishing you again
But me
It took too long to see that I was wrong
You had every right to leave and move on
To those love notes she wrote me
Anything at all
I read them so much they drained my eyeballs
Is there hope for us?
Do you remember that funeral you attended
At the epiphany, how short life is
Will you please forgive?
I'm missing, missing the sound of your Midwest voice
Now I'm bound to make the right choice,
Silence the noise
I'm missing




Missing
I'm missing and wishing you again
