'''Don't Want to Miss You''' is a song performed by singer Lindsay Gitter. It was written and recorded as a charity single to benefit [[Westarctica]]'s mission of combating [[climate change]].

==Background==
In March 2021, singer-songwriter [[Count of Canisteo|Griffith Frank]] expressed a desire to make a meaningful contribution to combating the harmful effects of [[climate change]]. [[Grand Duke Travis]] suggested that they collaborate on a single, the proceeds of which would directly benefit Westarctica.

Griffith assembled a small production team including singer Lindsay Gitter and music producer ESTICO. Together, they wrote and recorded the song over the course of three months. The final lyrics and composition were approved by Grand Duke Travis to ensure they captured the spirit of [[Antarctica]], but also conveyed a sense of profound loss over the melting [[Antarctic ice sheet|ice caps]]. It has been characterized as a "love song for Antarctica."

==Release==
The single was released on Apple Music and Spotify on 14 June 2021, where it quickly achieved a coveted five-star rating from reviewers. A limited edition 7" vinyl record release has been delayed due to reduced production capacity among global record manufacturers, but is slated for early 2022.

==Lyrics==
<blockquote>
VERSE 
Been drifting for a while now 
The world gets smaller every night 
But gazing at these empty yellow skies 
You feel more distant 
I don’t know why 

I’d fallen for your fragile beauty 
The winter mirrored in your eyes 
But as the rising tide gets higher every day 
I want to fight 
I have to try 

CHORUS 
Cause I don’t want to miss you 
Don’t want to have to 
Don’t want to watch you slip away 

Don’t want to wonder 
If I tried harder 
What could I do to make you stay 
To make you stay 

VERSE 
The night turns the cracked earth frozen 
The sun dries it into stone 
After everything you've been to me 
Is this the only future 
That we’ll ever know? 

You say it’s too late to stop the bleeding 
But it’s too soon to call the war 
If all I have is this one lifetime to my name 
At least there's someone I’d give it for 

BRIDGE 
Remember when our innocence was bliss 
Before I knew the silence warned of this 
I won’t turn away 
Turn away 
I won’t turn 
</blockquote>
