People That I Love

from Alone Time by Melissa Bel

about

There were a few tears while writing this one. Most of the vocal was from the writing demo because the emotions were so fresh and it ended up being perfect for the track.

lyrics

I’ll be right there 
Catch a flight and
Stay the night there
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could say
In a couple days we’ll
Be together like we never
Had to try so hard to remember 
The simplicity of how things used to be 

Don’t wanna celebrate another birthday on the phone and
Don’t ask when I’ll be home cause I don’t know

I’m too used to missing people that I love
I’m so used to life without them that we just don’t bring it up 
It hurts to think how long it’s been since I gave them a hug
It’s a familiar feeling, and I’m tired of being
So used to missing people that I love

Now I envy how the old me
Had it easy, go to parties
Dancing in the street, it’s all so out of reach
Now I wanna be sat around your table
Singing songs and
I can play all of your favourites
Say how long it’s been
I will soak it in

And we can celebrate the little things we took for granted 
We didn’t know how good it was until we didn’t have it 

I’m too used to missing people that I love
I’m so used to life without them that we just don’t bring it up 
It hurts to think how long it’s been since I gave them a hug
It’s a familiar feeling, and I’m tired of being
So used to missing people that I love

We’re only getting older
And I just wanna hold ya
I hope it won’t be long
Till I’m in your arms

I’m too used to missing people that I love
I’m so used to life without them that we just don’t bring it up 
It hurts to think how long it’s been since I gave them a hug
It’s such a familiar feeling, and I’m tired of being
So used to missing people that I love
