Lyrics
Missing - Fallen Outtake
Left audio channel: please.. please.. please...
Right audio channel: can you stop the fire? - can you stand to fight her? - you can’t stop the fire - you won’t say the words
Please, please forgive me
but I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
and barely conscious you'll say to no one
isn't something missing?
You won't cry for my absence, I know
you forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
you won't try for me, not now
though I die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
Left audio channel: please.. please.. please...
Right audio channel: can you stop the fire? - can you stand to fight her? - you can’t stop the fire - you won’t say the words
Please, please forgive me
but I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
you won't try for me, not now
though I die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed
knowing you don't care
and if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
Even though I'm the sacrifice
you won't try for me not now
though I died to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Left audio channel: please.. please.. please...
Right audio channel: can you stop the fire? - can you stand to fight her? - you can’t stop the fire - you won’t say the words
Missing - Demo version
Throughout the verses there is a looped background vocal of Amy whispering "can you stop the fire? please.. please.. please.." and "you can't stop the fire" on the LEFT audio channel plus "can you stand to fight her" and "you won't say the words" on the RIGHT audio channel.
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
And barely conscious you'll say to no one
Isn't something missing?
You want to cry for my absence I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You wont try for me not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn't something missing?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You wont try for me not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
