I always thought they'd fix you
Smart people find a cure
I knew you would never leave
I was completely sure
Bad things don't happen children
Folk reap what they sow
Welcome to the real world
So little did I know
I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years
The fairytale ended
Dreams, they turned to dust
I closed down my affections
The betrayal took my trust
I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years
I placed my faith in anger
Placed my back against the wall
I built sure, strong defences
I built them wide and tall
I always think, if I get close
To anyone at all
They'll be taken from me
Best not to get involved
I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years
I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years
