Lyrics:

The problem with starting halfway through

Is  that you don't understand and that, that gets to you

Don't  need to hear your voice to know you're outside looking in

Don't need to see your face, I know you're inside out again

Keep them close 'cause they will fuck you too

I  will keep you close

I ’ve got nothing better to do

Better to do

'Cause  I will miss you

And without you, I will never be whole (Never, never, never)

I will never be full again

I'm missing you like I used to

Like  I still do

Sitting here tonight, I'm thinking those simple thoughts

Hoping that you're happy now, happy with what you got

Keep them close 'cause they will fuck you too

I will keep you close

I’ve got nothing better to do

Better to do

'Cause I will miss you

And without you, I will never be whole (Never, never, never)

I will never be full again

I'm missing you like I used to

Like I still do

Wise up, fuck up, know that I'll never lie to you

I won't lie to you

Wise up, fuck up, know that I'll never lie to you

Leave you all alone

Keep them close 'cause they will fuck you too

I will keep you close

I got nothing better to do (Got nothing)

Better to do (Got nothing)

I'm missing you (Can you hear me?)

I'm still missing you (Can you hear me?)

I'm missing you (Can you hear me?)

I'm still missing you (Can you hear me?)

I'm missing you (Got nothing)

I'm still missing you (Got nothing)

I'm missing you

I'm still missing you
