If missing you was a song, it'd be a melody on a broken radio
A station fading in and out, a signal coming slow
The bass would be this hollow ache, a rhythm in my chest
The treble, just the memory of the words I loved the best
And the chorus would be a symphony of everything we lost
A beautiful, chaotic, and overwhelming cost
If missing you was a song, it'd be on constant repeat
A track I can't stop playing, a bitter sounding beat
It's the anthem of the empty, the score to silent nights
If missing you was a song, I'd never get the rights
If missing you was a season, it'd be the rain in mid-July
A sun that's always setting in the corner of my eye
You'd be the ghost in every verse, a harmony of blame
And I'm the only one who knows the title of the same
And the bridge would be a question that I'm asking to the air
A single, hanging minor chord, pretending you're still there
If missing you was a song, it'd be on constant repeat
A track I can't stop playing, a bitter sounding beat
It's the anthem of the empty, the score to silent nights
If missing you was a song, I'd never get the rights
I'd rewrite every lyric, I'd change the stupid key
But some tunes get inside your soul, and refuse to leave
So I'll let the record spin until the needle wears it thin
Maybe I'll learn to love the silence when the final notes begin
If missing you was a song, It'd be on constant repeat
A track I can't stop playing (Can't stop playing) This bitter-sounding beat
It's the anthem of the empty, The score to silent nights
If missing you was a song, I'm singing it for life
If missing you was a song
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Just a faded, golden, long-lost song
