V6-MINI

[Intro – Spoken] You said you were leaving to save me from your life… But you never understood. I wasn't loving some perfect man. I was loving you. The good, the bad, the broken, the beautiful. And now you're gone… but my heart didn't get the message. [Verse 1] I still see your boots beside the doorway, Still hear your laughter down the hall. Your coffee cup is on the counter, Like you might come walking through it all. We had our little slice of heaven, Dancing barefoot on that kitchen floor, Laughing at some silly movie, Then talking until we couldn't talk no more. You thought your past would pull me under, Thought your scars were more than I could bear. But I saw the man beneath the damage, And I loved the pieces hiding there. [Pre-Chorus] You ran because you thought you knew What loving you would cost me. But you never asked this heart of mine If losing you would hurt worse. [Chorus] I miss you, baby, more than these words can say, Every lonely room still calls your name. I miss your hands, your crooked smile, The way you'd make me laugh after a hard day. You thought walking away would set me free, But you're the part of me I can't release. You can run down every backroad tonight, But my heart's still riding right beside you. I miss you, baby… Every piece of you. [Verse 2] I found your old sweatshirt on the sofa, And held it close like you were here. Your scent was fading from the fabric, But somehow made the memories clear. I pass that little diner on the highway, Wonder if you're thinking of me too. I swear every mile between us Feels like one more mile back to you. I remember all those restless evenings, Bills piled up and tempers running high. You'd say you weren't the man I deserved, I'd tell you that you didn't have to hide. You lost your keys, Made mistakes you couldn't take back. But underneath every rough-edged moment, There was a heart I knew was coming back. [Pre-Chorus] You called yourself a lost cause, I called you mine instead. You saw every reason to disappear, I saw reasons to stay. [Chorus] I miss you, baby, more than these words can say, Every lonely room still calls your name. I miss your hands, your crooked smile, The way you'd make me laugh after a hard day. You thought walking away would set me free, But you're the part of me I can't release. You can run down every backroad tonight, But my heart's still riding right beside you. I miss you, baby… Every piece of you. [Bridge – Soft Rap/Sung] Now I'm sitting in my sweats with the television low, Eating cold takeout, wishing you were home. Two glasses in the cabinet, but I only pour one, Still turning toward the doorway when I hear a truck run. Maybe tomorrow I'll pretend I'm okay, But tonight I'm missing you in every possible way. If you called me from the darkness, I wouldn't ask where you've been. I'd just say, “Come home, baby. Let's start again.” [Verse 3] Then the memories hit me like headlights, That terrible night I prayed you'd live. Rain falling hard on the pavement, Me begging heaven for another chance to give. I saw that stubborn little boy inside you, The one who never knew how to slow down. The angry words, the broken promises, The man who still somehow turned my world around. Every scar became a story, Every mistake became a road. And through every mile of darkness, I never stopped calling you my home. [Final Chorus] I miss you, baby, more than I can hide, You're still the first thought when I wake at night. I miss our kitchen dances, Your sleepy voice, your arms around me tight. You thought your leaving was love's goodbye, But you left me with a thousand whys. If you're somewhere underneath these country stars, Know I'm still loving who you are. Not just the good, not just the strong, But every broken place you thought was wrong. [Outro – Spoken/Sung] So if you ever hear this song Coming through an old radio somewhere, I hope you know… I never needed you to be perfect. I just needed you to stay. You were never my missing piece… You were the whole picture. And I still love every piece of you.
