I thought I heard your voice yesterday When I turned around to say That I loved you then I realized And it was just my mind Playing tricks on me It seems colder lately at night And I try to sleep with the lights on Every time the phone rings I pray to God it's you I just can't believe That we're through I miss you (I miss you) There's no other way to say it And I, and I can deny it I miss you (I miss you) It's so easy to see I miss you and me Is it done and over this time? Have we really changed our minds But it's all this love All the feelings that we used to share I refused to believe That you don't care I miss you (I miss you) There's no other way to say it And I, and I can deny it I miss you (I miss you) It's so easy to see I've got to gather my senses together I've been through worse kinds of weather If it's over now, be strong I can't believe that you're gone I've got carry on I miss you (I miss you) Oh no other way to say it And I, and I can deny it I miss you (I miss you) It's so easy to see That you're part of me now No other way to say it It's so easy to see That you're part of me now It's driving me crazy It's so easy to see That you're part of me now That you're part of me now I miss you (I miss you) It's driving me crazy I don't want to live without you I miss you (I miss you) It's so easy to see I'm missing me
