[Verse 1]
The empty side of the bed still holds your shape
A jacket on the chair, your cigarette breaks its glow
My phone lights up with nothing I've been trying not to face
The clock ticks loud, counting every small goodbye
I trace your name on steamed glass like it's a map
And pretend the light means something other than that
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself the nights will blunt this ache
But every quiet corner waits to give and then it takes
So I breathe slow, try to fold the noise away
But the hush keeps climbing till I can't pretend to stay
[Chorus]
I miss you — like the night misses the moon
I miss you — like a song without a tune
I'm up again, counting all the things I let you take
Unanswered calls, a coffee gone cold on the sink
I keep saying I'm fine, but I miss you anyway
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
[Verse 2]
Your playlist still plays our afternoons in minor keys
Late-night cigarettes, the ash of every used-up plea
I walk the rooms you filled and every doorway keeps your shape
The silence is a witness that won't let me escape
I pass the mirror and your laughter flickers like a lie
I try to sleep but every streetlight spells your name at 3
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself tomorrow will be softer than tonight
But shadows know my secrets and they hold them tight
So I count breaths, pretend the hurt will learn to fade
But the closer I get to calm the more I feel betrayed
[Chorus]
I miss you — like the night misses the moon
I miss you — like a song without a tune
I'm up again, counting all the things I let you take
Unanswered calls, a coffee gone cold on the sink
I keep saying I'm fine, but I miss you anyway
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
[Bridge] (drop everything, raw)
No drums, just the teeth of the silence chewing slow
I hear you in the static, in the echo of the phone
Smoke in the hallway, sunlight through the blinds
I keep reaching for a warmth that never finds
[Final Chorus] (build — add harmonies)
I miss you — like the night misses the moon (I miss you)
I miss you — like a song without a tune (I miss you)
I'm up again, counting all the things I let you take
Unanswered calls, a coffee gone cold on the sink
I keep saying I'm fine, but I miss you anyway
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you (stacked vocal harmonies)
[Outro]
One light left on, one more breath to say
I keep saying I'm fine, but I miss you anyway
I miss you — I miss you — I miss you
