I thought today would be the day
That I'd finally finish sober
I'd cook a meal and go to bed
Without sadness in my chest
Wake up with no hangover
I thought tonight would be the night
I'd get a full eight hours of sleep
I'd quit leaning on the wine
Wake up and feel just fine
And leave you in my dreams

I only miss you when I'm breathing
And my face is far from blue
I only miss you when it's raining
But this downpour outside ain't nothing new
I only miss you when I'm lonely
And these days, I'm barely getting by
I only miss you when I'm drinking
And, baby, I've been drinking 'cause I miss you all the time

And every time I hear your name
It's like my stomach ties in knots
I lose direction in the night
Drink until I'm blind
Since the day that you've been gone
I've been running from your memory
But damn, it keeps on catching up
You're in every song I sing
In every thought I think
Do you still believe in us?

I only miss you when I'm breathing
And my face is far from blue
I only miss you when it's raining
But this downpour outside ain't nothing new
I only miss you when I'm lonely
And these days, I'm barely getting by
I only miss you when I'm drinking
And, baby, I've been drinking 'cause I miss you all the time

Why don't you come over?
My bed keeps getting colder
Put your pretty head on my shoulder
See if over's really over

I only miss you when I'm breathing
And my face is far from you
I only miss you when it's raining
And this downpour outside ain't nothing new
I only miss you when I'm lonely
And these days, I'm barely getting by
I only miss you when I'm drinking
And, baby, I've been drinking 'cause I miss you all the time

I only miss you when I'm drinking
And, baby, I've been drinking 'cause I miss you all the time
