This song was lovingly molded and given by Satan to Eric Bazilian, who passed it on to Early Ape for nurturing and safekeeping. "If they weren't so dirty and unsocialized, Early Ape would be the next Hooters" - Eric Bazilian
lyrics
How Can I Miss You?
By, Eric Bazilian
Additional Lyrics By Nate Rylan
You stood beside me
When the house was burning down
And I lost everything
So we moved back to town
Where I've gone back to work
While you just hang around
Trying to Find Yourself
And wishing you were somewhere else
Talking about your mental health
Well that's something i can't help, so
If Goodbye is what you need
Go ahead and leave
I'd love you to stay
How can I miss you when you just won't go away?
You've got so much to do and
Places you must go to
That's fine, that's ok
How can I miss you when you just won't go away?
I stood beside you
Every time you got that itch
Then you'd come crawling back
As soon as you got ditched
Well that was yesterday, and
Now it's come to this
Oh, you're a passionate girl
You hold a man inside of your world
But this one wrote the play with your part switched
Isn't life a bitch? So,
If Goodbye is what you need
Go ahead and leave
I'd love you to stay
How can I miss you when you just won't go away?
You've got so much to do and
Places you must go to
That's fine, that's ok
How can I miss you when you just won't go away?
And yes I'd like to think that
If I should see you someday
I'll know that you were the right one
How can I miss you when you just hang around and
You won't go away?
So If Goodbye is what you need
Just Go ahead and leave
I'd love you to stay
How can I miss you when you just won't go away?
You've got so much to do and
Places you must go to
That's fine, that's ok
How can I miss you when you just won't go away?
