V1: I miss the sound of your voice, your kiss, and embrace
Your touch, and your laugh - your everything
Why make me want you when you won’t let yourself be true?
V2: I miss seeing your number come up on my phone
Getting done up when I know we’ll be alone
Why do you hurt me when you know that I’m perfect for you?
Chorus: And you’ve spent your whole life searching
For what was right in front of you
And you’ve spend your whole life waiting
Just for me to be with you
Yet you turned away
Said you couldn’t stay
Said you couldn’t love me in that way
Yet you’ve spent your whole life chasing haven’t you?
V3: I miss the look on your face when you try hard to resist
The desire you feel, when I’m with you, you’re in bliss
Why do you fight it when you know what’s between us is real?
V4: I miss your cute loving side that you won’t share with the rest
your crazy addictions – are things I’ve never forget
Why did you come back when you knew you’d be leaving so soon?
Bridge: Yes I'd give you everything
I'd give you anything
I'd give you everything
But I gotta watch myself, I've gotta love myself, and take care
Cause I don't know how I could possibly hold you without shaking
No I’m not aware of how I could possibly love you without aching
Baby, this is the last honest love I’ll ever give
Baby, this is the last honest love you’ll ever live
(Overlay: Haven't you? Haven't you? Haven't you?)
V5: I miss your cute little words and how you know me so well
I can't hide a thing because you see through it all
Why build my trust just to walk out on me?
V6: I miss the good and the bad, when you think that I'm mad
And you run for cover 'cause you know you've made me sad
Why hold on just to let me fade away? fade away?
Finale Chorus:
(Overlay: Yes I'd give you everything
I'd give you anything
I'd give you everything
But I gotta watch myself, I've gotta love myself, and take care
Cause I don't know how I could possibly hold you without shaking
No I’m not aware of how I could possibly love you without aching
Baby, this is the last honest love I’ll ever give)
