Do you miss her enough that you can't breathe?
The air is filled with kerosene-
Enough to light your lungs on fire.
Do you miss her enough that you bleed, you bleed
And somehow find relief
Between the shards of broken hearts?
Do you miss her enough to breathe and watch yourself
Ignite and burn from the inside out?

And sometimes the life you live isn't worth much
When everything is subject to change
You keep saying her name

Do you miss her enough that you could die?
As far away as the starlight-
Enough to be distant and cold.
Do you miss her enough that you dream, you dream
And somehow wake up screaming
From the fright dark has untied?
Do you miss her enough to cry and watch yourself
Flail and drown without asking for help?

And sometimes the life you live isn't worth much
When everything is subject to change
You keep saying her name

Do you miss her that much
Do you miss her enough
Do you miss her that much
Do you miss her enough
Do you miss her that much

Do you miss her so much that you can't breathe?
