"The Hardest Part of Loving You"

Verse:

I push the white curtains open, the space where you park is empty

The place you held me tight, is still warm on silver sheets

It's a matter of a dozen moments since you were here, I was oh, so soft

Now you're driving and away from me, as I feel the distance grow

 

Chorus:

Every time you go, I die a little on the inside

Every time you go, I pray God, don't let it be the last time

Every one I see, look nothing like you

And my heart beats in a panic

Missing you is the hardest part of loving you

Now missing you is the hardest part of loving you

 

Verse:

I imagine you at the table, I watch you laughing , loving what I made

Believe your smile for me, even through my tears of grey

I dream you stand before me and you fall down on your knees

To stare into my eyes and tell me, “You're my family”

 

Chorus:

Every time you go, I die a little on the inside

Every time you go, I pray God, don't let it be the last time

Every one I see, look nothing like you

And my heart beats in a panic

Missing you is the hardest part of loving you

Now missing you is the hardest part of loving you

 

Bridge:

My eyes seek relief, but there's no where safe to land

My hands reach out for yours, but the reach is too damn far

Silence in this dark room and I feel just right at home

The next breath, near impossible, because the air I need ….is gone….

 

Chorus:

Every time you go, I die a little on the inside

Every time you go, I pray God, don't let it be the last time

Every one I see, look nothing like you

And my heart beats in a panic

Missing you is the hardest part of loving you

 

Ending Chorus:

Every time you go, I die a little on the inside

Every time you go, I pray God, don't let it be the last time

Every time we kiss, feel the flutter of a billion butterflies

Every time we kiss, ditto got to make it last a lifetime

Every one I see, look nothing like you

And my heart beats in a panic

Missing you is the hardest part of loving you

Missing you is the hardest part of loving you

Now, missing you is the hardest part of loving you

 

Every time we kiss, ditto got to make it last a lifetime

A lifetime baby and somehow longer….
