You'Re Going To Be Missed

You’re Going to Be Missed It’s been so long… Since I’ve sang a song About you, of course – my Love… You fluttered into my mind like a lovely dove I have nothing left of you…if only you knew I hung your picture on my wall I had everything before I lost my other shoe And I have tried to stand tall…through it all… I’ve tried to answer His call… I blame it on you for not catching me before I fall… You’re going to be missed dearly You’re going to be mine forever You’re going to be hurt so badly By the aftershocks of tomorrow’s yesterday All you were to me was a headache and a fever That’s how I thought of you…now, I’m unsure I never thought you’d change the way you did behind my back You’re not getting me back…you left me, cold and insecure, on the magazine rack I’m on my own, but not alone You were my one and only backbone I’ve tried to answer His call… I blame it on you for not catching me before I fall… You’re going to be missed dearly You’re going to be mine forever You’re going to be hurt so badly By the aftershocks of tomorrow’s yesterday I cried…I bled…I dreamt of you in a sugar-coated dream I lied…to myself…I slept in pastures so yellow and dry… I’m breaking by the seams I’m breaking by the seams You mended my broken dreams He mended my crooked halo… And refined my aura’s glow I’ve tried to answer His call… I blame it on you for not catching me before I fall… You’re going to be missed dearly You’re going to be mine forever You’re going to be hurt so badly By the aftershocks of tomorrow’s yesterday I shouldn’t be complaining… But, I’m not satisfied with your offer… Instead, I should be sustaining A positive mindset, but I’m upset…because you… Because you weren’t a friend, but a foe from the start You were never there for me when I needed a shoulder to lay on You were never there dawn to dusk…you haven’t noticed the pain In my eyes…in my eyes…avalanching from my eyes…I can’t shine on…like the handsome dawn… I’ve tried to answer His call… I blame it on you for not catching me before I fall… You’re going to be missed dearly You’re going to be mine forever You’re going to be hurt so badly By the aftershocks of tomorrow’s yesterday I claimed you as my own…like a gold piece, dug out from the ground… Now, I need His healing rain To shower upon me relief…obliterate the grief from my heart…without a sound… I’m spell-bound and gravity-bound – all packed up in one… And now, I’m shattered by your absence….waiting for the sun To shine on…upon me…. to murder the night of envy I’ve tried to answer His call… I blame it on you for not catching me before I fall… You’re going to be missed dearly You’re going to be mine forever You’re going to be hurt so badly By the aftershocks of tomorrow’s yesterday I wish I were as bold as a knight…during midnight hours I remember pulling out the weeds in my life… I watered down the roots of wisdom in my head I remember being a fruitful tree until strife Caught me off guard…now, I’m doused in dread Tears force me to look like a fool Fears make me appear like a worthless tool I’m stronger than I realize I’m not alone And I’m not a failure You’re going to be missed
