I Miss You

Lyrics I wrote a long time ago, put them to music and...
Special thanks as always to Brittney Morrison for help bring this song alive.

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Late night air still holding on to summer
Streetlights spill across the floor
I wait for sleep to pull me under
But I'm hoping to hear your key in the door

[Verse 1]
The kettle whistles somewhere distant
Photos scattered on the desk
I watch the night, my heart persistent
Learning how to live with less

[Chorus]
I miss you like silence in the morning
Like the cold side of the bed
Every memory keeps forming
Pictures running through my head

[Verse 2]
Cup of coffee sitting untouched
Rain against my window pane
The words you left start to unravel
I reach out but it's not the same

[Pre-Chorus]
I talk to shadows hoping you'll reply
Every room still echoes your goodbye

[Chorus]
I miss you like silence in the morning
Like the cold side of the bed
Every memory keeps forming
Pictures running through my head

[Post-Chorus]
Oh it's true, I miss you
Oh it's true, I miss you

[Bridge]
Maybe someday these walls will soften
My voice will finally break through
I'll let go of all that's been forgotten
But right now all I have is missing you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I miss you like silence in the morning
Like the cold side of the bed
Every memory keeps forming
Pictures running through my head

[Verse 3]
Your sweater draped across the chair
Still holds your faded scent
I sit and count unspoken words
All the hours we never spent

[Chorus]
I miss you like silence in the morning
Like the cold side of the bed
Every memory keeps forming
Pictures running through my head

[Outro]
If time brings you back, I'll hear your footsteps in the hall
But tonight it's just shadows turning faces on the wall
I'll keep the light burning and sing your name soft and low
Until the ache fades, and I learn to let you go

[Chorus]
I miss you like leaving words unspoken
Like a note I never read
Still searching for what's broken
Where your laughter once was led

[Post-Chorus]
Oh it's true, I miss you
Oh it's true, I miss you
