[Verse 1]
There's no one else in the room
Nobody, nobody, no
It's only me and you
Alone, Alone
I cradled you with care
I held you
Love is love, I hope you are aware
Everybody could see
What all of you meant to me
That's what I get for baring my shoulders
And wearing my heart on my sleeve
Clutching to straws of hope
In case you leave me broke
[Chorus]
In the back of my mind was only a matter of time I knew
Something was missing
Oh, baby, I knew something was missing
Oh
[Verse 2]
Though I could tell, yeah (oh, my love)
I was still a regular at the wishing well (all the time)
Though something was missing, yeah
No, it wasn't there
No, not anymore
Tell me, what can be done?
Anything, anything
I know you are the one
Not a stone, you're a gem
Not like them
Broke but still can be fixed, I promise
Only you show me what warmth is
Chasing your shadow with haste
Is pushing you further away
Up on the star, you widen my grasp
I mention your name while I pray
We're playing lover's roulette
With no one left to protect
Only coming to terms with how your departure would burn
[Chorus]
Baby, don't go missing
Baby, don't go missing
Oh, please
Oh, baby I knew something was missing
Oh, my baby
Don't go, don't go far
Baby, don't go missing
Oh, my baby. You wanna go so far away
Oh, baby I knew something was missing
Please don't go far away
[Outro]
I was still a regular at the wishing well
Oh, something was missing
No, it wasn't there
No, not anymore
