I MISS YOU

Sometimes I awaken
Screams shattering the night
I always reach for you
But you aren't by my side
And the tears flow
Like they always do
No way 
To convey
How I miss you

Our friends ask how you’re doing
When are you coming home
How am I coping
Spending so much time alone
And I smile
Tell them I’m doing fine
Grit my teeth and swear
That I won’t break down time

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I miss you
You've been gone too long
I miss you
I’m tired of being strong
Come and hold me
Take away this pain
And don’t you ever
Leave me like this again
~~*~~

I've always been here for you
With our children and our home
Forever praying it’s the last time
You will leave us all alone
Yes, I know you love me
Used to say it every day
Prove it this time
Stay…
Because...

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
I miss you...
A tree that longs for rain
Talent craving fame
Take away this pain
It's the only thing I ask of you...
Yeah... I miss you
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I miss you
You've been gone too long
I miss you
I’m tired of being strong
Come and hold me
Take away this pain
And don’t you ever
Leave me like this again
~~*~~
