Lyric

Those faded smiles

You both looked so young back then

Feels like I can still hear your laughter

Drifting through the room again

I spent my life chasing work

Rarely coming home at all

Now it's late at night

And I'm sitting here

Looking at these photographs alone

Somewhere along the way

I grew older than the two of you

I miss you

God, I miss you

There were so many things

I never got to say

Thank you

I'm sorry

The words are still unfinished

To this day

The two of you inside that photograph

Still listen without a word

Looking back

I took so much for granted

Caused more worry than I ever knew

Spoke like I knew everything

Even when I hadn't got a clue

Still you greeted me

With the same warm smile

Every single time

I thought that would last forever

I thought there'd always be more time

But there's no home left to return to

And no number left to call

I miss you

God, I miss you

I always thought there'd be another day

To say thank you

To say I'm sorry

But somehow I waited too long

The two of you inside that photograph

Still listen without a word

Now when I think about it

Even the words that hurt back then

Sound gentle somehow

The older I get

The more I see

Pieces of you in me

Year by year

Step by step

I'm becoming who you used to be

I miss you

God, I miss you

If I could see you one more time

Just once

I'd finally say

Thank you

The way I always should have

Without looking away

I miss you

God, I miss you

The father and mother in that photograph

I've grown old too

More than I ever imagined

But even now

I'm still your son

Thank you

Thank you

For everything
