Standing in the shadows,
Watching the stars,
And the world pass me by,
I realized something important,

I missed you all the days that blade grazed my skin,
Even more on the nights I was stargazing,
I missed you all the days when my heart was breaking,
Even more on the nights I was light with laughter,

I missed you all the nights I lay awake in tears wishing I were dead,
Even more on the days I was glad to be alive,
I missed you all the nights I was somewhere I didn't want to be,
Even more on the days I was exactly where I needed to be,

I miss you all the times I am alone,
Even more the times I am surrounded by friends,
I miss you all the times I am faded,
Even more the times I am sober,

I miss you all the times I need my best friend,
Even more the times I need to be by myself,
I miss you all the times I need a shoulder,
Even more the times I don't,

I miss you when I'm tired,
You used to help me sleep,
I miss you when my dad's an ass,
You used to hold me tight,

I miss you when I shoot pool,
You used to be my opponent,
I miss you when I hear Blue October,
It reminds me of you,

I miss you when your sleeping,
I just like to be with you,
I miss you when I'm with my new friends,
They remind me of how things are different now,

I miss you when it rains,
Just like I miss you when the sun shines,
I miss when you were here,
I miss when you were you.
