I miss the mystery that you once were When there was so much still left to uncover I miss first realising the bond we had A connection unlike any other I miss skipping sleep to talk to you And we'd talk all through the night I miss thinking of jokes I could share with you When we could finally reunite I miss knowing I was always on your mind And just thinking about me made your day I miss the knowledge that all I had to do was be there For all your troubles to melt away I miss pretending the world was non-existent Because the only one that mattered was you But if missing was enough to turn back the clock Believe me It's the first thing I'd do Back then I'd be your sanctuary I'd not have to wonder about how you feel It's disturbing that things are so different now It's crazy what time can reveal I miss the certainty you'd never ignore me Or do anything to send hurt my way But it's no use denying things are different now And unlikely to ever be the same I wish I could express to you how sorry I am But that ship is long past sailed And I know you've already forgiven me But I'll carry this regret to the grave Guess now we're back to being strangers It's come full circle again I can't say I'm happy with how things are I'm just grateful that it's not the end
