[Verse 1]
Laying here in your arms, and you hold me tight, tight
Trying not to watch the clock tick, ticking as the time goes by
And I know that you best be on your way
But I'm wishing I could make you stay
Stay with me for a while

[Pre-Chorus]
Though you're near, still I wanna make it clear
Love, I will always be around

[Chorus]
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
I feel it already, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye

[Verse 2]
Kinda hard for me to let you know
Still don't let my feelings show
How much I will miss in you
All the little things that make me weak
Your eyes and the way you speak
Without you, baby, I'm not me

[Pre-Chorus]
Though you're near, still I wanna make it clear
Love, I will always be around

[Chorus]
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
I feel it already, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye

[Break]
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
I feel it already, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye

[Chorus]
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye
I feel it already, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye

[Outro]
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you before the goodbye

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American singer and actress. Born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, she performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows as a child before signing with Jive Records in 1997.

Spears’s first and second studio albums, …Baby One More Time and Oops!… I Did It Again, became international successes, with the former becoming the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist. Title tracks “…Baby One More Time” and “Oops!… I Did It Again” broke international sales records, with the former reaching number one in every country it charted in. In 2001, Spears released her self-titled third studio album, Britney, and played the starring role in the film Crossroads (2002). She assumed creative control of her fourth studio album, In the Zone, which yielded the worldwide success of the single “Toxic.”

In 2007, Spears’s much-publicized personal issues sent her career into hiatus. Her fifth studio album, Blackout, was released later that year, and spawned hits such as “Gimme More” and “Piece of Me”.
