I miss you, miss you Hello there The angel from my nightmare The shadow in the background of the morgue The unsuspecting victim Of darkness in the valley We can live like Jack and Sally if we want Where you can always find me And we'll have Halloween on Christmas And in the night we'll wish this never ends We'll wish this never ends I miss you, I miss you I miss you I miss you Where are you? And I'm so sorry I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight I need somebody and always This sick strange darkness Comes creeping on so haunting every time And as I stared I counted The webs from all the spiders Catching things and eating their insides Like indecision to call you And hear your voice of treason Will you come home and stop the pain tonight Stop this pain tonight Don't waste your time on me You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you) Don't waste your time on me You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you) Don't waste your time on me You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you) Don't waste your time on me You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you) Don't waste your time on me You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you) Don't waste your time on me You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you) I miss you, I miss you I miss you, I miss you I miss you, I miss you I miss you, I miss you
