I've Been 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.
It's not because I've just been caught
It's not as if I planned this
I didn't give a single thought
One big misunderstanding
I see how things look from your side
I see how you're hurting
The reason that I didn't hide
One big misunderstanding
So I blew it again just like I always do
It's too late for sorry, this much is true
I did what I did
Just to make my way through
One more day far away from you
And I've been missing you
It's not the first won't be the last time
I've been caught red-handed
To tell the truth I cannot lie
One big misunderstanding
I haven't got an alibi
And I can't stop them talking
Cross my heart and hope to die
One big misunderstanding
So I blew it again just like I always do
For the things that I did I'm saying sorry to you
But I did what I did and I paid my dues
I've been missing you
It's not the first won't be the last time
I've been caught red-handed
To tell the truth I cannot lie
One big misunderstanding
I haven't got an alibi
And I can't stop them talking
I cross my heart and hope to die
One big misunderstanding
So I blew it again just like I always do
For the things that I did I'm saying sorry to you
But I did what I did and I paid my dues
I've been missing you
