Lyrics of I Miss You by Blink-182

I miss you, I miss you
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we′ll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We′ll wish this never ends
I miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you
Where are you? And I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always, this sick, strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
The webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?
Stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me
You′re already the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
Don′t waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
Don′t waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
Don′t waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
Don′t waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me
You′re already the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)
I miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you
