Do You Miss Me? - Mayfield

I feel forgotten, left behind

In the wake of your new born life

There’s such a distance between us

It’s so hard to say this

I won’t force myself to make this right

We’re hanging by a thread

We all feel the same way

Longing for that perfect past to repeat itself

We forged a bond since birth, but I let this fade away

I’m just an afterthought of your memories and all that we used to be

We used to sit and talk

That’s all gone now

So I split the branch from stalk, and watch the dead limb fall like feathers to

the ground

The steps I was meant to walk in washed away

So I walk alone along this winding road

Fuck the way things are today;

I miss your loving arms

But you made a bed with another love and I just can’t match that

My only wish would be to have another year in that fucking house

But you made a choice and now those memories rot in the back of my head

I don’t want to have to force myself to your door, cause now all I feel is

resentment

Are you even missing me at all?

I want to know

Are you even listening at all now?

It’s got me clawing at my skin

The tears will never hit the floor again

Over matters I cannot control

Does it matter if I can’t fill that hole?

Because I’d rather leave it empty, for when your hear needs to come home

I’ll keep the void as small, as the space between our doors

I’ll always be your little boy

With the smiling face you can remember but haven’t seen in years

I miss you father, my king of hearts

But I have to be the man I am

Even if we stray apart
