You Can’t Miss What You Can’t Measure Lyrics

Sitting here with a broken heart
Wishin' you'd come home for
Sitting here with breakin' hearts
I just can't go on

Oh, grief has got a hold on me
I can't think for myself
It's all because that woman of mine
Making love to someone else

I'm turning green from being blue
Without your face around
You found another to do your lovin'
And me you have put down, and I'm

Sitting here with a broken heart
Wishin' you'd come home cause
Sitting here with breakin' hearts
I just can't go on

I'm trudging water all through the house
I thought it was from my kitchen sink
I phoned the plumber to rush right over
And see if he could fix this leak

He rushed right over and he took a look
And much to my surprise
He said, "My son it's not your sink
It's teardrops from your eyes"
Sitting here with a broken heart
Wishin' you'd come home for
Sitting here with breakin' hearts
I just can't go on

You can't miss what you can't measure
That's what he tried to make me see
Love is around I know for sure
What's in store for me

Sitting here with a broken heart
Wishin' you'd come home for
Sitting with breakin' hearts
I just can't go on, oh

I chew my nails off one by one
I only got one to go
Unless I get what I been missin'
Never had no more

My nerves are shot, I smoke a lot
In my loneliness
And until I see your face once again
My lonely heart won't rest and I'm

Sitting here with a broken heart
Wishin' you'd come home for
Sitting here with breakin' hearts
I just can't go on
Sitting here with a broken heart
Wishin' you'd come home for
Sitting here with breakin' hearts
I just can't go on

You can't miss what you can't measure
That's what he tried to make me see
But as long (he's a desired man)??
I know what's in store for me

You can't miss what you can't measure
That's what he tried to make me see
Love is around I know for sure
What's in store for me

You can't miss what you can't measure
That's what he tried to make me see
Love is around I know for sure
What's in store for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
