I'll Miss You
Longing Echoes: Charles Fauna's Melodic Farewell
Lyrics
I don't wanna start a problem but I, feel I have to say
I feel compelled to address something, though I don't want to cause an issue
I know you well enough to see you need to get away
I understand you well enough to recognize that you need a break or time away
And I know that it's good for you, you always needed more
I acknowledge that leaving is beneficial for you; you've always required more
But secretly I'm sad because, you're farther than before
However, I'm secretly saddened because your departure distances you even more than before
If you choose to go, I know that I can't stop you
If you decide to leave, I understand that I cannot prevent you from doing so
But if you go just know I'll miss you
But if you do leave, please know that I will feel your absence and miss you
We talk to each other like we're still kids, like we're living life onstage
We communicate with each other as if we're still young, as if life is a performance
But something bout the way we mess around betrays our age
Yet, something about our playful behavior reveals our true age
Cuz my hands I see the veins that pump my father's blood
I notice the physical signs of aging in my own hands, reminiscent of my father's veins
At what point did the good old days stop hitting like they should
I question when the nostalgic past ceased to evoke the same strong emotions as before
If you choose to go, I know that I can't stop you
Again, acknowledging that if you decide to depart, I cannot hinder your choice
But if you go just know I'll miss you
Reiterating that your absence would be felt deeply, and I would miss you if you go
I am selfish though, I wish that I could stop you
Admitting selfishness, expressing a desire to prevent you from leaving
I wonder who I'll be without you, I'll miss you
Reflecting on the uncertainty of personal identity without you, emphasizing the feeling of missing your presence
