I Only Miss You

I thought today would be the day

That I'd finally finish sober

I'd cook a meal and go to bed

Without sadness in my chest

Wake up with no hangover

I thought tonight would be the night

I'd get a full eight hours of sleep

I'd quit leaning on the wine

Wake up and feel just fine

And leave you in my dreams

I only miss you when I'm breathing

And my face is far from blue

I only miss you when it's raining

But this downpour outside ain't nothing new

I only miss you when I'm lonely

And these days I'm barely getting by

I only miss you when I'm drinking

And baby, I've been drinking

'Cause I miss you all the time

And every time I hear your name

It's like my stomach ties in knots

I lose direction in the night

Drink until I'm blind

Since the day that you've been gone

I've been running from your memory

But damn, it keeps on catching up

You're in every song I sing, in every thought I think

Do you still believe in us?

I only miss you when I'm breathing

And my face is far from blue

I only miss you when it's raining

But this downpour outside ain't nothing new

I only miss you when I'm lonely

And these days I'm barely getting by

I only miss you when I'm drinking

And baby, I've been drinking

'Cause I miss you all the time

Why don't you come over?

My bed keeps getting colder

Put your pretty head on my shoulder

See if over's really over

I only miss you when I'm breathing

And my face is far from you

I only miss you when it's raining

And this downpour outside ain't nothing new

I only miss you when I'm lonely

And these days I'm barely getting by

I only miss you when I'm drinking

And baby, I've been drinking

'Cause I miss you all the time

I only miss you when I'm drinking

And baby, I've been drinking

'Cause I miss you all the time
