When I Miss You

(Verse 1) You come home with the weight of the world, Your eyes are tired, your shoulders curled. You give us everything you can, But I’m still reaching for your hand. I wait for moments that never stay, You chase the hours that slip away. You need the quiet to breathe again, I need your voice to let love in. (Pre-Chorus) We’re both just trying to do what’s right, But somehow we forget the why. (Chorus) I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold, I need your laughter, a story told. You’re giving the world, but I need you too, Not just the money, but the man I knew. Lord, help me hold him, help him see it through— We’re both still learning what love can do. (Verse 2) I’m home building what I believe, The calling God keeps whispering to me. But when I follow where He leads my heart, The dishes wait, and we fall apart. You think I’m saying you don’t give enough, I’m really saying I miss your touch. You talk of bills, I talk of dreams, We’re walking roads that rarely meet. (Pre-Chorus) You bear the load, I bear the ache, Two good hearts both bound to break. (Chorus) I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold, I need your laughter, a story told. You’re giving the world, but I need you too, Not just the money, but the man I knew. Lord, help me hold him, help him see it through— We’re both still learning what love can do. (Bridge) Maybe we’re meant to learn this grace, To meet each other in Your space. God, if I keep You first, I’ll find my peace, And maybe then our hearts can meet. (Final Chorus) I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold, Just time to talk before we’re old. He’s chasing goals, I’m chasing truth, Both trying to make something new. Lord, help us love the way You do— We’re both still learning what love can do.
