[intro]

[verse 1]

The first kiss was on your porch

And since then I've carried a torch,

What I put you through, you didn't deserve

If I saw you now, I would'nt have the nerve

[chorus]

To tell you that I miss you

and miss that I can't kiss you

To hold you in my arms

all through the night

Lose the bitterness you feel,

and I promise not to steal

Your heart, I'll give you mine,

if I thought it would make it right

[verse 2]

I'm not sayin' that you should,

or expecting that you would

Forgive me for all the pain,

you suffered because of me

Heartbreak and heartache,

you carried since you left

Drink and drugs you took,

in the hope they'd set you free

[chorus]

To tell you that I miss you,

and miss that I can't kiss you

To hold you in my arms,

all through the night

Lose the bitterness you feel,

and I promise not to steal

Your heart, I'll give you mine,

if I thought it would make it right

[verse 3]

Wherever you close your eyes,

and remember all the lies

Broken promises,

that never came true

You have the right to hate me,

I hate I can't make it right

And the only light that comes,

we found it's all right.

[chorus]

To tell you that I miss you,

and miss that I can't kiss you

To hold you in my arms,

all through the night

Lose the bitterness you feel,

and I promise not to steal

Your heart, I'll give you mine,

if I thought it would make it right

[bridge]

You left me with the memories,

that I run inside my head

Took away your dreams,

and left you nightmares instead

[chorus]

To tell you that I miss you,

and miss that I can't kiss you

To hold you in my arms,

all through the night

Lose the bitterness you feel,

and I promise not to steal

Your heart, I'll give you mine,

if I thought it would make it right

[outro]

To tell you that I miss you,

and miss that I can't kiss you

To hold you in my arms,

all through the night
