I Miss You

I miss you every day, no matter how I try
I miss you in every way, you are the reason I still cry

On nights like this, when the world is quiet
And all I can hear is the thunder's boom
I lie alone, upon my bed, in my dark and empty room
And remember the times you held me near
So close I could feel you breathe
And all the times we talked until
In my arms you fell asleep
The safety I felt, the comfort of your presence
Just knowing you were there
And feeling your arms wrapped around me
In the emptiness inside me, I still feel you here

I miss you every day, no matter how I try
I miss you in every way, you are the reason I still cry

On days like this, when my world is cold
And the silence is all around me
I can remember how you made me feel
And the glow of love still surrounds me
All those times you smiled at me
And made me smile back at you
Remind me of those brighter days
Before I was haunted by the truth
Lost in my head, shielding my heart
Unafraid to love, unafraid to trust
Before my world shattered and fell apart

I miss you every day, no matter how I try
I miss you in every way, you are the reason I still cry
