The piano plays the same old tune we used to share
Your coat still hangs behind the door as if you care
I trace the outline of your face upon the glass
But every note I touch just fades into the past
And I hold the silence like a weight upon my chest
Every breath I take is just another test
I wonder if the rain will ever wash away
The echo of the words I never got to say
I miss you in the quiet
I miss you in the gray
The afternoon that never ends
I miss you every day
The photograph beside the bed is turning grey
Your laughter still a ghost that I cannot betray
I count the hours in the space where you should be
The melody of us is all thats left of me
And I trace the silence with a finger cold and thin
Trying to remember where the song begins
But every chord I play just pulls me down again
Into the hollow where your name has always been
I miss you in the quiet
I miss you in the gray
The afternoon that never ends
I miss you every day
The morning light comes creeping through the window pane
But I still feel the cold of where you used to stay
And if I close my eyes I almost hear you say
The words that slipped away
I miss you in the quiet
I miss you in the gray
The afternoon that never ends
I miss you every day
I miss you every day
