“Missin’ You”

© 2013 Allison Merten

Lyin’ awake tonight and I
Wish I wouldn’t think of you ‘cuz I
Don’t wanna be up all night
So I just close my eyes.
I try so hard not to think of you
But it’s next to impossible to do.
My weakness is
I can’t refrain from missin’ you.
I gotta keep myself from missin’ you.
How do I keep myself from missin’ you?
I gotta keep myself from thinkin’ of you all the time.
You’re on my mind.
I miss you.
A month ago we said, “Goodbye.”
I thought I was okay at the time,
But it was all just a big lie.
My love for you just won’t die.
Thinkin’ you’ll be there when I wake up,
Makes me miss you more,
And it’s all become too much.
I just hate that the thought of you won’t go away.
I gotta keep myself from missin’ you.
How do I keep myself from missin’ you?
I gotta keep myself from thinkin’ of you all the time.
You’re on my mind.
I miss you.
I remember when I thought you weren’t the one.
I remember when I thought I’d be happier when you were gone.
I remember when I thought it’d be easy to move on.
I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong.
I gotta keep myself from missin’ you.
How do I keep myself from missin’ you?
I gotta keep myself from thinkin’ of you all the time.
You’re on my mind.
I miss you.
