Missing Out

The one that was missing all of those birthdays

Always ended up in the wish I made

But never ended up in the picture frame

when the camera flash went off

One that was missing when my heart first broke

didn’t set it high so the bar was low

I guess there’s no way that I can really know

just how much love I lost

How much time it cost

But Looking at it now I wouldn’t change nothing

Maybe I’m where I am cuz of where he wasn’t

With Every empty chair and unmade phone-call

Time taught that little girl it wasn’t her fault

Couldn’t see it then too young to understand

But it’s real clear now

The one that was missing

It the one who was missing out

The one that was missing

when the dream came true

wasn’t proud as hell in a corner booth

didn’t hearthe song everybody knew

And Say she gets that from me

sure he had his reasons

sure he had his demons

but leaving is leaving

to the people that you leave

Missing all all the highs

Miss all the lows

Missing the best part of the story that he wrote
