Missing You

I live for the phone, I die for the mail

I took your picture right off the nail and put it right by my bed

So I could see you instead of the darkness of night

I hold conversations with you in my mind

They only tighten this knot deep inside and the aching won't end

'Til I hold you again, if I only survive

Why did you have to go?

Why am I missing you so?

One heartbeat at a time

I'm going out of my mind

Missing you, missing you-

I started a letter, I stared at your name

There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain

There was no sound at all

But the slow lonely fall of an unspoken tear

Why did you have to go?

Why am I missing you so?

One heartbeat at a time

I'm going out of my mind

Missing you, missing you

Life may take us in different directions

But I always end up deeper, deeper in my true affection

Why did you have to go?

Why am I missing you so?

One heartbeat at a time

I'm going out of my mind

Missing you, missing you

Why did you have to go?

Why am I missing you so?

One heartbeat at a time

I'm going out of my mind

Missing you, missing you

Why did you have to go?

Why am I missing you so?

One heartbeat at a time
