How can you rest when you're not tired
How can you love when all hope has expired
You don't know what you're missing
I hope you know that you're missed
(Chorus)
He can't confide in suicide
He can't pretend it's a justified end
Look for the spirit by your side
He's holding hands with you my friend
How could you leave when the fun was just starting
When all of us left were the ones you were loving
You don't know what you're missing
I hope you know that you're missed
(Repeat Chorus)
You my friend
Ooh my friend
A moment's problem brings a lifeless solution
And then he turned the lights out at eleven
You don't know what you're missing
I hope you know that you're missed
(Repeat Chorus x2)
You my friend
Ooh my friend
