  • My biggest fear ain't tigers
    Or spiders, or heights
    Or getting lost somewhere at sea
    It's one that I've been playing in my head
    Since you left
    And it shows up in my dreams

    Best case, I'll move on and I get better
    Worst case, this drags on and on forever

    What if the missing you don't ever go away?
    What if you're burned into my brain?
    What if my heart's already made up its mind?
    And what if I find somebody new
    And I'm about to say, "I do"
    Then out of the blue, I think of you?
    Hell, what a mess
    So, let me miss him now
    But God, don't let me miss him in a wedding dress

    I don't mind missing you
    In a bar, late nights, or in the car
    On my birthday, or when I meet someone
    With your same name
    At the store on aisle nine
    When I see the coffee that you like
    That's fine
    Just not when I'm wearing white

    What if the missing you don't ever go away?
    What if you're burned into my brain?
    What if my heart's already made up its mind?
    And what if I find somebody new
    And I'm about to say, "I do"
    Then out of the blue, I think of you?
    Hell, what a mess
    So, let me miss him now
    But God, don't let me miss him in a wedding dress

    It keeps me up at night, thinking

    What if the missing you don't ever go away?
    What if you're burned into my brain?
    Heart's already made up its mind
    And what if I find somebody new
    And I'm about to say, "I do"
    Then out of the blue, I think of you?
    Hell, what a mess
    So, let me miss him now
    Oh, let me miss him now
    But God, don't let me miss him in a wedding dress Writer/s: Ben Williams, Colin Healy, Megan Moroney
