[Verse 1]
Missing you, mom
I dream about you
Crying out your name
Calling for you in the dark
Why did you leave?
You didn’t answer
I still hear that silence
When I close my eyes at night
[Pre-Chorus]
Think about it
My heart aches every time
I reach for your hand
And the air just breaks apart
[Chorus]
Missing you, mom
Missing you, mom
Why did you leave?
Why did you leave?
Missing you, mom
I’m still your child
Think about it
My heart aches every time
[Verse 2]
I set your cup down
Right where you used to sit
The house keeps your shape
In the chair and in the walls
I keep your old sweater
Pressed against my face
Just to steal one breath
From the days before you left
[Pre-Chorus]
Think about it
My heart aches every time
I say your name
It comes back like a bruise
[Chorus]
Missing you, mom
Missing you, mom
Why did you leave?
Why did you leave?
Missing you, mom
I’m still your child
Think about it
My heart aches every time
[Bridge]
If dreams are a doorway
Let me find you there
I’ll bring all my crying
And leave it at your feet
Say you still know me
Say you still see me
Even from far away
Even from that quiet place
[Final Chorus]
Missing you, mom
Missing you, mom
Why did you leave?
Why did you leave?
Missing you, mom
I’m still your child
Think about it
My heart aches every time
Missing you, mom
Crying out for you
You didn’t answer
But I still call for you
