Description: this song was written in the winter of 2012... i guess i was thinking about writing a title song for the shiloh album Mrs.... which was supposed to be called Misses... but SOMEone didn't think that was a good album title, so we changed it to something worse. Anyway this song is all about missing things and people, but y'know, LIKING that feeling

lyrics

I’ve got this pain I never use
And killin it gives me the blues
I gotta hand it to you, girl
You sure taught me how to lose
I’ve got this love I never share
I’ll keep you close and say I care
There’s enough cut to go around
I”ll keep my heart lyin’ on the ground

My chemical condolences
A couple claims, a double shift
A bummer bleeding out in shit
Some layer cake to flavor it
I got this friend I never see
He could be gut shot and bleeding
For all I know and I could care less
I’m looking forward to missing him

I just cannot make out the point
Why am I here? Why am I your boy?
Leave me alone like you found me
Or I”ll leave you, I’ll leave you be
I only love the things I miss
I don’t love you, you’re who I’m with
But once I lose you and you’re gone
You’ll be the one, you’ll be the one
