I miss you tonight
the same way I did last night
Your voice
Your laugh
The jokes we tell
I just miss you
and I can't help but wonder... Do you miss me too?
I had a long day
And I don't even know if yours was ok
I don't know why you haven't called me at work
I go out of my way to be with you
and sometimes it feels I don't get the same in return
I'm kind of upset right now
I know I shouldn't be
I was just hoping you would come stay the night with me
I didn't want to get to this point
The point of no return
But obviously I have so now I don't want to get burned
Little things hurt me
And I'm sure you don't understand
Just like I don't get what it's like to be a man
I try to see things from your point of view
Why don't you do the same for me too?
I don't like to be disappointed with the things that you do
I don't like being down and confused
I just want to talk, I want to talk to you
But sometimes I don't know how
So I lock it all up and don't make a sound
I've tried to be numb
and not feel a thing
I try to ignore all the little things that sting
Sometimes I guess my emotions just take over
I don't try to rag on you
Or make you feel bad
I just don't always know how to make you understand
I don't know how to be ok with certain things
I just want you here not in my dreams
Maybe I'm selfish and don't want to share
I don't want to lose you
But scared to death I will
I don't really know what I'm trying to say
I probably won't even send this
So it don't matter anyway....
