Missing

Can you stop the fire? (Please)
Can you stand to fight her? (Please)
You can't stop the fire (please)
You won't say the words (please, please)
Please, please, forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one
Isn't something missing?
You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me, I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
Can you stop the fire? (Please)
Can you stand to fight her? (Please)
You can't stop the fire (please)
You won't say the words (please)
Please, please, forgive me
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me, I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed
Knowing you don't care
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me, I'm all alone
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Can you stop the fire? (Please)
Can you stand to fight her? (Please)
You can't stop the fire, (please)
You won't say the words, (please, please)
