I leave your sweater, on the chair where it lay

I leave the bible on the nightstand where you prayed

And I leave the light on in the bedroom down the hall

So, it feels like you're still here, like you're still home

Like the river misses the sea, like the leaves missing the breeze, it’s the emptiness I feel in this old home

I just need a good night’s rest to wake up to this mess

No matter what I do, aint no missing, like when I’m missing you

I set the table, like I’m still eating with you

And I pour you coffee just like I used to

And I play your records and pretend I still hear you sing

whatever I can do to keep on remembering

Like the river misses the sea, like the leaves missing the breeze, it’s the emptiness I feel in this old home

I just need a good night’s rest to wake up to this mess

No matter what I do, aint no missing, like when I’m missing you

the good days, the bad days no matter what, whatever it takes, every little bit of strength that I have

to try to forget that you aint coming back.

Like the river misses the sea, like the leaves missing the breeze, It’s the emptiness I feel in this old home

I just need a good night’s rest to wake up to this mess

No matter what I do, aint no missing, like when I’m missing you
