At night, when all the world's asleep Is when I miss you most . . . I miss the way you'd hold me tight The way you'd stroke my hair The little things like holding hands, Just knowing you were there I'd cuddle up and go to sleep I felt so loved, secure I always knew you'd keep me safe My love for you was pure I trusted you in every way, I never felt afraid I knew you'd keep me safe from harm I loved the home we'd made. But over time we grew apart, You spent more time away I never knew quite what went wrong But distance grew each day Then in the end you walked away, I begged with you, I cried But all you said is you were "done" Your love was just a lie You left and never once looked back At least not right away And by the time you changed your mind We'd nothing left to say With distance I gained clarity I didn't want you back I focus on the things I have Instead of what I lack I know I'm not the perfect girl, I've never claimed to be But somewhere out there, in the world Is the perfect man for me Who knows I'm not the perfect size But loves me anyway! He doesn't go off how I look But how I act each day And while I know that I'll move on I grieve your loss each day I think of what we had and shared Together, In our way
