As If It's Any Different

I miss you tonight 
As I focus on the outline
Of white clouds in a pink sky 
I miss you tonight 
As if it’s any different 
Than the night before 
It never feels the same 
The moments I realize  
I have to miss you 
Because you’re not here 
You’re not here
You’re not here
Tonight, it’s heavy 
Your absence in my life
I make it sound like your choice
But sometimes people just die 
You can’t plan for it 
Even if you know it’s coming 
You’re never truly ready to say goodbye
I don’t know what to do with the feeling
There’s no handbook on how to heal 
I keep thinking about all the things I can’t do with you 
All the things you won’t experience 
There’s always a spot for you 
And it’s forever empty 
I’m waiting for you to come home
As if it’s any different 
Then the night before 
I’ll still say I miss you tonight 
As I focus on the outline 
Of white clouds in a pink sky
I miss you tonight
