I Miss My Best Friend (TJA)

[Verse 1] We used to laugh at nothing, and we’d never tell lies And then I’d get lost in those beautiful blue eyes You weren’t just my lover—you were the one who cared Now I reach across the bed and find it empty there [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere in the silence, we forgot how to be Now I’m screaming to the shadows, “Please come back to me!” [Chorus] I miss my best friend, not just the love we knew I miss the one who saw me when no one else could get through I miss the arms that held me, even when we fought You’re still here… but my best friend’s not [Verse 2] We built a life of moments, where we’d laugh and we would cry Now we’re strangers in the kitchen, scared to look each other in the eye I’d take the messy middle, I’d take the fights and pain If it meant I’d feel you near me once again [Pre-Chorus] Where did we go wrong? Was it slow or was it fast? Was it something in the present, or was it in the past? [Chorus] I miss my best friend, not just the vows we made I miss the way you held me, without a word to say I miss the jokes, the glances, the fire that burned so strong You’re still here… but my best friend’s gone [Bridge] (soft, then build) Do you miss me too? We were quite a pair Would you even notice if I wasn’t there? ‘Cause I would do it all again—the pain and all the years— Just to hold you one more time and wipe away your tears [Final Chorus] (fullest moment vocally) I miss my best friend, not just the love we knew I miss the one who saw me when no one else could get through I miss the way you knew me, when I didn’t need to try You’re still here… but we said goodbye [Outro] (just voice and sparse chord) If there’s still a heartbeat underneath this quiet storm Let me in… let me in… Bring my best friend home
