Missing You
Heartache Echoes in Every Word: Billy Ray Cyrus's 'Missing You'
Lyrics
I live for the phone, I die for the mail
I eagerly await phone calls and letters, emphasizing their significance in my life.
I took your picture right off the nail
I removed your picture from the wall, symbolizing a separation or change.
And put it right by my bed
I placed your picture beside my bed, indicating a desire for closeness and comfort.
So I could see you instead
I prefer seeing your image over the darkness of the night, seeking solace.
Of the darkness of night
I hold conversations with you in my mind
I engage in mental conversations with you, though it intensifies the emotional struggle.
They only tighten the knot deep inside
These thoughts increase the emotional burden, creating a deeper internal conflict.
And the aching won't end
The pain persists, and relief is only possible through physical closeness.
'Til I hold you again
Yearning for the moment when I can hold you once again.
If I only survive
The struggle feels unbearable, questioning the possibility of survival without you.
Why did you have to go
Expressing confusion and sadness about your departure.
Why am I missing you so
Reflecting on the intense feeling of missing you.
One heartbeat at a time
Each moment without you is felt profoundly, measured in heartbeats.
I'm going out of my mind
The emotional distress is pushing me to the limits of sanity.
Missing you, missing you
Reiterating the theme of missing you as a constant presence in my thoughts.
I started a letter, I stared at your name
Attempting to convey emotions through a letter, struggling to find appropriate words.
There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain
The pain is reflected in every line of the letter, echoing the emotional struggle.
There was no sound at all
Silence prevails, except for the sound of a tear falling slowly and silently.
But the slow lonely fall
Describing the quiet descent of an unspoken tear, emphasizing the depth of sorrow.
Of an unspoken tear
Why did you have to go
Repeating the question of why you had to leave, emphasizing the confusion and pain.
Why am I missing you so
Expressing the overwhelming nature of missing you and seeking understanding.
One heartbeat at a time
Measuring time and pain in heartbeats, emphasizing the acute nature of the experience.
I'm going out of my mind
The emotional turmoil is causing a descent into madness.
Missing you, missing you
Life may take us in different directions
Life's path may lead elsewhere, but the depth of true affection remains constant.
But I always end up deeper, deeper in my true affection
Why did you have to go
Repeating the query of why the departure occurred, seeking answers and closure.
Why am I missing you so
Continuing to grapple with the intense emotions and the profound sense of loss.
One heartbeat at a time
Quantifying the experience of missing you in the rhythm of heartbeats.
I'm going out of my mind
The emotional distress is driving me to the edge of sanity.
Missing you, missing you
Reiterating the enduring theme of missing you, emphasizing its ongoing impact.
