I live for the phone, I die for the mail I took your picture right off the nail And put it right by my bed So I could see you instead Of the darkness of night I hold conversations with you in my mind They only tighten the knot deep inside And the aching won't end 'Til I hold you again If I only survive Why did you have to go Why am I missing you so One heartbeat at a time I'm going out of my mind Missing you, missing you I started a letter, I stared at your name There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain There was no sound at all But the slow lonely fall Of an unspoken tear Why did you have to go Why am I missing you so One heartbeat at a time I'm going out of my mind Missing you, missing you Life may take us in different directions But I always end up deeper, deeper in my true affection Why did you have to go Why am I missing you so One heartbeat at a time I'm going out of my mind Missing you, missing you
