Oh I'm (missin' you) The hurt on your heart Through your eyes it shows The past we can't relive What we both know Still I remember Things I never meant Memories surround me Won't let me forget I was so wrong The secret's not worth keeping I had no faith That you would still believe No, now My heart's in your keeping Here I am Missin' you (Missing you) Fear in the dark Stares from the wall Your eyes in your picture Won't let me go If I could remember How you felt the pain The king of pretenders Alone in shame I was so wrong The secret's not worth keeping I had no faith That you would still believe No, now My heart's in your keeping Here I am, oh here I am (Missin' you) Missing you Oh I'm (missing you) You were there, now I'm here You gave much more than I did I gave what I had to give If I could, you know I would I'd make it up to you Instead I'm (missin' you) In the place you used to be You were lying next to me Oh I'm, missin' you Oh I'm missin' you
