[Verse 1]
I’ve always hated my hometown
Thought my life was just cursed
Goin’ round in a circle
I tried to run from this hurt
Now I’m in a parking lot
Crying cause I miss my mom

Thought I hated my parents
Swore I’d never be them
But now that I’m older
I crave their hugs once again
And I know our love was flawed
But it was pure and just enough

[Chorus]
I miss you
Like the Sun misses the Moon
I can’t change you
So how do I love you?

[Verse 2]
I forced myself to be perfect
Made a world of my own
Wishing for a new family
An all-American home
Now I cry when someone new
Hugs me like you used to do
I wrote this song to say “I’m sorry”
For the times we used to fight
Tried to rewrite my own story
Of the worst years of my life
Now I can cry cause

[Chorus]
I miss you
Like the Sun misses the Moon
I can’t change you
So how do I love you…

[Bridge]
When we’re miles apart?
I’m broken from the start
I can’t fix you
So how do I love you?

[Outro]
You don’t have to say “I love you”
Cause I’ve learned to understand you
Without words, without blame
And I know things will feel different
When you’re gone and I’m here listening
To the words we never say
Even after all I’ve broken and become
You always stayed
