What I Was Missing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What I saw was never ending
So I went back to what I was missing
Is there a husband or a father in me?
Then I woke up
Wish you could’ve seen all the things I would see
Wish you could’ve been there laughing with me
Wish we could’ve opened somewhere inside
And we could always sleep there and no one will die
What I saw was another degree
Shied away from love that I was risking
If my mother and my brother agree
I won’t wake up
Wish they could’ve seen all the things I would see
Wish they could’ve been there laughing with me
Wish we could’ve opened somewhere inside
Where we could always sleep there and no one will die
You’ll die
You’ll die
You’ll die
You’ll die
You will always be my summer sky when you arrive
We’ll find some shade to stop the burning, crisis averted
You will always be my summer sky if you arrive
If you want to stop the screaming then sing it with me
You will honestly say that it’s hard for you
To change when you’ve always had it your way
You will honestly say that it’s hard for you
To change when you’ve always had it your way
You will honestly say that it’s hard for you
To change when you’ve always had it your way
You will honestly say that it’s hard for you
To sing so take me back to what I was missing
Take me back to what I was missing
Take me back to what I was missing
Take me back to what I was missing
