Miss You Lyrics

your letter said it was love
that kept you from leaving for so long
you said that love is a flame that burns
until all the oxygen is gone
but now the fire is out
and you're suffocating,
world is turning blue.
where there once was an us and me,
now there's only me and you.
i read it every day.
i know it all by heart.
those are the words that tore my world apart.

baby, come home tonight because i miss you.
baby, come home tonight.
you know you've been away too long.
why do we always fight?
what are the issues?
why do we always fight?
how come we just can't get along?

we'll hide it inside a box
so i can pretend that it's not real
and for a while, believe you feel the same way you used to feel
and any minute, you walk through the door
and throw your arms around my neck
or maybe it will be ice cold hands that want to strangle me to death
but i know what you will be
for halloween this year
you're going as my girlfriend
you make it so painfully clear.
whoa

baby, come home tonight because i miss you.
baby, come home tonight.
you know you've been away too long.
why do we always fight?
what are the issues?
why do we always fight?
how come we just can't get along?
how come we just can't get along?
how come, how come we just can't get along?
alright, alright

ohh, because i miss you. [x7]
