[Verse 1]
I was a fool, just running 'round on my own then
I played it cool with the boys at the end of the bar
Though I might say I didn’t have a care in the world then
It wasn't true: I was missing you
[Verse 2]
We took a walk down 17th in the moonlight
I held my breath at the step by the edge of your door
And I nodded yes when you said “Hey, is everything alright?”
But it wasn't true: I was missing you
[Verse 3]
Something inside told me I shouldn’t do
Things that set my heart racing, the dreams I held to
So I wrapped them up tight and hid them from view
And gave them a name I called “Missing You”
Every cop in the city and the family I knew
The church and the pastor all said I shouldn't do
But their pleas for contrition just couldn't break through
Not one of them stronger than missing you
[Interlude]
I was missing you
I was missing you
[Chorus]
The cops in the city, yeah, and everyone I knew
The church and the pastor couldn't tell me what to do
Their pleas for contrition, yeah, well, none of them broke through
Not one of them was stronger than missing you
[Outro]
Missing you
