When You Start To Miss Me
This pain is like a knife
Cutting deep into my heart
Slowly I see the light of life
Disappearing as I fall apart
As my smile disappears
I count my tears as they fall to the floor
My sobs realize my greatest fears
Of everything I've hidden inside and more
In the depths of every tear I cry
Escapes a memory of you
It doesn't matter how hard I try
I don't understand this that you do
How can I be worth less than a habit
This tears me apart inside
I've watched you turn into an addict
Caring less about the tears I've cried
I'm picking myself up off my knees
and wiping the tears from my eyes
I'm praying to God, guide me please
Give me strength and subside my cries
I am praying for you too dad
I hope you find your way
Please always remember that,
I love you come what may
