Staring at my phone screen blank in the night Thumbs twitching just wanting to write Heart racing fast can't take the fight Scared my words will bring you fright Oh I miss you but I can't say a thing Every minute without you feels like a sting Locked in silence afraid I'll bring Sadness to your life a painful ring Memories play like a fast movie reel Seeing your smile still trying to heal Wishing I could just share how I feel But the fear keeps me from hitting send for real Running through rain just to clear my mind Lightning strikes but no message I find Echoes of laughter and joy rewind Yet my courage leaves me in a bind Oh I miss you but I can't say a thing Every minute without you feels like a sting Locked in silence afraid I'll bring Sadness to your life a painful ring Pictures in my drawer covered in dust A thousand thoughts but none I trust Trying hard to forget but I must Reach out but I'm scared of what combust Oh I miss you but I can't say a thing Every minute without you feels like a sting Locked in silence afraid I'll bring Sadness to your life a painful ring Pictures in my drawer covered in dust A thousand thoughts but none I trust Trying hard to forget but I must Reach out but I'm scared of what combust
