Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away And I'm wonderin' why you left And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight You don't know how desperate I've become And it looks like I'm losing this fight In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say And there's a message that I'm sending out, like a telegraph to your soul And if I can't bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, ain't missing you, oh no No matter what my friends might say, I ain't missing you...
