I Miss You But I Don't Want To Miss You
I miss you, but I don't want to miss you.
I feel this bond so strong,
I just don't know how to carry on.
I've been through so much.
Enough is enough.
Why does my heart ache when you're not there?
Why, my heart, do you need so much to care?
I wish I could be carefree,
but damn these feelings.
They just won't let me be.
The nights have been so long.
Your hugs, your touch, your kiss—
I find I miss them way too strong.
I miss you, but I don't want to miss you.
I really want you there.
I want you to care.
Oh my feelings,
why do you keep me tied up for so long?
We both had it rough, I know,
but understand I'm trying to be tough.
I miss you, but I don't want to miss you.
I don't want to cry because I'm alone,
but I don't want to pick up the phone.
Damn my heart, why did you dare to go there?
Damn, I really miss you.
