Something is Missing

(Female:)

There's a spark between us, no denying it's true,

Every crowded room somehow leads me back to you.

I know your thoughts before they reach your lips,

I know your smile, your hands, your fingertips.

(Male:)

I can read your silence like an open book,

Know exactly what you mean from a single look.

We fit together like a lock and key,

But something's never worked between you and me.

(Both:)

There's a shadow in the middle of our light,

A missing piece we never seem to find.

(Both:)

Something is missing, something is gone,

Something that should've been there all along.

We feel the fire, we feel the pull,

But somehow our hearts never quite become whole.

We keep coming back though we know the cost,

Crossing the same bridges already lost.

Call it fate or call it wrong,

Something is missing, and it's been all along.

(Male:)

We finish each other's sentences with ease,

Move through the dance like the same melody.

But every road somehow becomes a fight,

And every sunrise turns into a night.

(Female:)

It's gotten so we feel the timing now,

The moment when the cracks begin somehow.

We both reach for the higher ground,

Though deep inside we know it can't be found.

(Both:)

Round and round, the same old scene,

Chasing what we wish we'd been.

(Both:)

Something is missing, something is gone,

Something that should've been there all along.

We feel the fire, we feel the pull,

But somehow our hearts never quite become whole.

We keep coming back though we know the cost,

Crossing the same bridges already lost.

Call it fate or call it wrong,

Something is missing, and it's been all along.

(Female:)

On my sober days I've tried to walk away.

(Male:)

I've done the same, sworn this was where it'd stay.

(Female:)

But I only make it halfway down the street.

(Male:)

And I start wondering if you're missing me.

(Both:)

Then we're searching, turning back again,

Running straight into the storm we've always been.

(Both:)

Something is missing, but it doesn't matter now,

We've spent too many years forgetting how

To let each other go and close the door,

Though we know exactly what we're heading for.

We'll never be what we keep trying to become,

Still we hear each other's name and start to run.

Maybe someday we'll finally see,

What was missing all along wasn't you or me.

(Female:)

Something is missing...

(Male:)

Something is broken...

(Both:)

And we just can't stay apart.

Though we'll never be together,

You're still the missing piece of my heart.

(Female:)

Something is missing...

(Male:)

Something is missing...

(Both:)

And that's the hardest part.
