Verse 1

He waved goodbye with a half-worn smile”

Said,"I'll be back real soon”

Just another shift, another night

Nothing warning what we'd lose

 

Now there's space where his arms should be

Cold air where his breath once was

I still reach out without thinking

But there's no one left to touch

 

Verse 2

Took her down to a fast-food place

Six candles in ketchup red

Paper crown, plastic tray

She laughs like this is heaven instead

 

Ribbon tight in her hair tonight

Borrowed dress, spinning slow

I smile so she won't see

I'm crying That big Coke shines like gold

 

Chorus

I miss you in the quiet moments

I miss you in the noise

In every empty space you left

In every broken choice

 

I miss the way you used to stay

I miss the man you were Yeah,

I keep living day by day

But missing you still hurts

 

Verse 3

Later on where the headstones lie

Name cut deep in stone and grey

She kneels down close,

starts talking Like you just stepped away

Tells you jokes,

the silly kind Laughs and says,

"You'd love this part" She knows you hear

every word she says I feel it tear me apart

 

Bridge

I'm mad at you

I'm mad at fate At roads that end

too fast But I'd carry every ounce of pain

If I could give her back your laugh

 

Final Chorus

I miss you in the quiet moments

I miss you when she calls your name

I miss the future we never got

I miss the sound of you staying

 

Yeah, I keep moving, I don't fall apart

I do what I have to do

But every mile, every beating heart

Still knows I'm missing you

 

She waves goodbye Like you wave back I turn my face Before I crack
