Lyrics

[Verse 1 — Low, Smoky Baritone]
Your side of the bed still holds me
Though your body ain’t been there
I wake up reaching through the darkness
And come back holding empty air
Your robe still hangs behind the doorway
Your glass is resting by the sink
Every room keeps bringing back
The very thing I’m trying not to think
I told myself I’d be all right
Said a man could stand alone
But this house keeps proving every night
You were more than someone home
[Chorus — Warm Chest-Voice Rise]
I’m missing you
More than my pride will let me say
Missing the way you pulled me closer
When I started turning away
I’m missing you
Your hands, your voice, your tenderness
I thought I needed room to breathe
Now your absence fills my chest
[Verse 2 — Intimate, Behind the Beat]
I drove past that little restaurant
Where you used to steal my fries
Sat outside for half an hour
With your goodbye in my eyes
I miss the way you said my name
When you were angry but still stayed
Miss the truth inside your silence
And the love I failed to save
Another woman tried to touch me
But my body knew the lie
There are places only you could reach
No stranger can occupy
[Chorus — Stronger, Rougher]
I’m missing you
More than my pride will let me say
Missing the way you pulled me closer
When I started turning away
I’m missing you
Your hands, your voice, your tenderness
I thought I needed room to breathe
Now your absence fills my chest
[Bridge — Gospel-Rooted Plea]
I should have held you when you warned me
Should have listened through your tears
Should have loved you in the moment
Not after you disappeared
If your heart still leaves a doorway
If there’s one light burning through
I’ll come back without excuses
Just a man still loving you
[Final Chorus — Passionate Baritone Belt]
I’m missing you
Till the morning feels like midnight
Missing the heat beneath your body
And the peace behind your eyes
I’m missing you
And every hour makes it clear
I had love inside my hands
Now I’m reaching and you’re not here
[Outro — Falsetto Touches and Ad-Libs]
Come back, woman
Let me make this wrong thing right
I don’t need another empty morning
Or another lonely night
I’m missing you
Still needing you
And I finally know the truth
This house ain’t home
This man ain’t whole
Baby, I’m missing you
