How Can I Miss You? Lyrics

You're still here, though I can't imagine why.

I've tried to push you aside and still I try and try.

When I come home at night I pray that you'll be gone

But there you are and we just keep on keeping on.

It's not as if we started out to fail

But this far down the track we've come off of the rails.

How can I miss you if you won't go away?

I try to resist you then insist that you stay.

You're too much of a good thing but I still have to say

How can I miss you if you won't go away?

The very thought of you is causing me distress.

When we began this trip I never would have guessed

The road that we were on would end up quite this bad

But here we are in a cul-de-sac and now I'm mighty sad.

How can I miss you if you won't go away?

I try to resist you then insist that you stay.

You're too much of a good thing but I still have to say

How can I miss you if you won't go away?

It takes two to tango and I guess we're both to blame

For playing love as if it's just some silly game.

We never read the rules just made it up as we went through

And now you're stuck with me and I'm here stuck with you.

How can I miss you if you won't go away?

I try to resist you then insist that you stay.

You're too much of a good thing but I still have to say

How can I miss you if you won't go away?

How can I miss you if you won't go away?

I long for distance from you more every day.

But we're in each other's gravity until we decay.

How can I miss you if you won't go away?
