[Verse 1]
Miss you when you’re gone
Kitchen light off
cold couch
same song
Half cup on the counter
your lipstick on
I keep talkin’ to the shadow
like you on the phone
Got your name on my tongue
tastes like metal and rain
Every birthday on the calendar
just echoes and pain
They say time heals
I say time steals
Clock hands cut deep
these scars stay real
[Chorus]
Everything’ll be all right
rest in peace, Mom
If I say it every night
then I might stay calm
Heart heavy like stone
but I still move on
I miss you when you’re gone
(I miss you when you’re gone)
Everything’ll be all right
rest in peace, Mom
Tears run slow
while the world runs on
Talk to the sky
’til the dark feels dawn
I miss you when you’re gone
(I miss you when you’re gone)
[Verse 2]
I was angry at the angels
’cause they took you too quick
Tried to bargain with the bottle
till it made me sick
Argued with the mirror
’cause your eyes look back
You taught me how to love
I learned hurt from that
Cold bed
no lullaby
just tinnitus hiss
Your old sweater on the chair
got me leaning in to kiss
Thin air, thick grief
it’s a thief in the night
But your voice in my head
keep pushin’ me to fight
[Bridge]
Yeah I’m talkin’ to the dirt
like you underneath hear me
Every flower that I lay
is a verse
do you feel me? (yeah)
If I make it out alive
I’ll credit you in every breath
You the reason that I rise
when I’m wrestlin’ with death
[Chorus]
Everything’ll be all right
rest in peace, Mom
If I say it every night
then I might stay calm
Heart heavy like stone
but I still move on
I miss you when you’re gone
(I miss you when you’re gone)
Everything’ll be all right
rest in peace, Mom
Tears run slow
while the world runs on
Talk to the sky
’til the dark feels dawn
I miss you when you’re gone
(I miss you when you’re gone)
