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 teh 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
