Intro:
Three candles on the window, still burning for you
Your hoodie in the hallway, still smells like June
They say time heals, but time just moves
And I’m stuck in a world that don’t have you
Verse 1:
Twenty-six forever, that’s where you stay
Laugh frozen in a picture frame
Your shoes by the door, I can’t move a thing
If I touch it, it feels too real, too late
Every morning I still call your name
Like somehow you’ll answer, “I’m okay”
But silence hits louder than any pain
And I’m learning how to breathe in the rain
Pre-Chorus:
They tell me “be strong,” I try my best
But a mother’s heart don’t get no rest
Chorus:
I’m missing you in every little thing I do
In every song, in every room
Three years gone, but it feels brand new
This kind of hurt don’t fade, it blooms
Your sisters cry, your brother too
We all got pieces torn in two
If love could’ve saved, we’d still have you
I’m missing you… I’m missing you
Verse 2:
Your sister keeps your messages saved
Reads ‘em when she needs your strength
Your brother don’t talk, he just walks away
Carrying weight he can’t explain
We sit at the table, your chair still there
Nobody moves it, nobody dares
We laugh, then break, it’s not fair
How one heartbeat just disappeared
Pre-Chorus:
They say “let go,” but how can I
When you’re still my whole life
Chorus:
I’m missing you in every little thing I do
In every song, in every room
Three years gone, but it feels brand new
This kind of hurt don’t fade, it blooms
Your sisters cry, your brother too
We all got pieces torn in two
If love could’ve saved, we’d still have you
I’m missing you… I’m missing you
Bridge:
I see you in dreams, you’re laughing again
I wake up reaching, but you’re not there
God, I’d trade anything just for one more day
To hear you say, “Mom, I’m okay”
If heaven’s got streets, I hope you run free
No pain, no tears, just peace
But down here, we’re still incomplete
Living life with a missing piece
Breakdown:
Twenty-six candles, never enough
Three years later, still too much
Your name in my heart, written in blood
A mother’s love don’t give up
Final Chorus:
I’m missing you in every breath I take
In every smile I try to fake
Three years strong, but my heart still breaks
This kind of loss don’t go away
Your sisters ache, your brother’s pain
Echo your name in the pouring rain
Till I see you again someday
I’m missing you… every day
Outro:
Three candles still burning for you…
And they’ll never fade away…
