Missing

You’re missing all the things
that are worth fighting for,
all the consequences
of a troubled love.
You’re missing every chance
to look me in the eye,
to wake up in the morning
by somebody’s side.
And love me and hate me
I’ll be so confused,
I’m just starting to learn
and I want to break lose.
I’ll hold you when you’re down
like I’ve done before,
but I won’t be around,
and you won’t even know.
Waste every word on you
breaking all my rules.
I’ll love you even when
you say good bye.
I’m missing all the things
that are worth fighting for,
all the consequences
of a quiet love.
I’m missing every chance,
to look me in the eye,
to wake up in the morning
by somebody’s side.
And love me and hate me
I’ll be so confused.
I’m just starting to learn
and I want to break lose.
I’ll hold you when you’re down
like I’ve done before,
but I won’t be around,
and you won’t even know.
Waste every word on you
breaking all my rules.
I’ll love you even when
I say good bye.
