Laying here in your arms, and you hold me tight, tight
Trying not to watch the clock tick, ticking as the time goes by
And I know that you best be on your way
But I'm wishing I could make you stay
Stay with me for a while
Though you're near, still I wanna make it clear
Love, I will always be around
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
I feel it already, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
Kinda hard for me to let you know
Still don't let my feelings show
How much I will miss in you (Miss in you)
All the little things that make me weak
Your eyes and the way you speak
Without you, baby, I'm not me (I'm not me)
Though you're near, still I wanna make it clear
Love, I will always be around
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
I feel it already, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
I feel it, already, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
I feel it already, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
