Officially Missing You
Tamia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Falling on the rooftop
Ooh, baby, tell me why'd you have to go?
'Cause this pain, I feel
It won't go away
And today, I'm officially missing you
I thought that from this heartache
I could escape
But I fronted long enough to know
There ain't no way
And today
I'm officially missing you
Ooh, can't nobody do it like you
Said, every little thing you do
Hey, baby, said it stays on my mind
And I (and I), I'm officially
All I do is lay around
Two years, full of tears
From looking at your face on the wall (face on the wall)
Just a week ago, you were my baby
Now I don't even know you at all
I don't know you at all
Well, I wish that you would call me right now
So that I could get through to you somehow
But I guess it's safe to say, baby, safe to say
That I'm (that I'm), officially missing you
Ooh, can't nobody do it like you
Said, every little thing you do
Hey, baby, said it stays on my mind
And I (and I), I'm officially
Well, I thought I could just get over you, baby
But I see that's something I just can't do
From the way you would hold me
To the sweet things you told me
I just can't find a way
To let go of you
Ooh, can't nobody do it like you (like you)
Said, every little thing you do
Hey, baby, said it stays on my mind (you know it stays on my mind)
And I, I'm officially
It's official
Oh, you know that I'm missing you
Yeah, yes
All I hear is raindrops, ooh, yeah
And I'm officially missing you
The song “Officially Missing You” by Tamia tells the story of a woman who is struggling to cope with the pain and heartache of a broken relationship. The opening lyrics describe the sound of raindrops falling on the rooftop, setting the melancholic tone of the song. The woman is pleading with her lover to explain why they had to leave, as the pain she feels won’t go away. She had hoped to escape the heartache, but it seems she cannot hide from it any longer. As the chorus kicks in, she holds onto the memories of her ex-partner, who she declares no one else can replace.
The second verse speaks of a woman who is still clinging to the hope of getting back with her ex-lover. She is still heartbroken and her home is filled with constant reminders of her missing partner. The pain of longing for her ex is made more acute by the fact that, just one week ago, they were in love, and now she doesn’t even know them at all. She begs them to call so that she can have some closure but ultimately accepts it's safe to say that she is officially missing them.
In summary, the song “Officially Missing You” is a powerful ballad that captures the pain and heartache of a failed relationship. It speaks to the universal human emotions of loss and regret, and Tamia’s soulful vocals drive home the message in a way that is both poignant and unforgettable.

Tudo que ouço é pingos de chuva
Caindo no teto
Oh, querido me diga, por que você teve que ir?
Porque essa dor que eu sinto
Não irá embora
E hoje, estou oficialmente sentindo sua falta
Eu pensei que dessa dor no coração
Eu poderia escapar
Mas, enfrentei isso tempo bastante pra saber
Não tem jeito
E hoje
Estou oficialmente sentindo sua falta
Oh, Ninguém consegue fazer como você
Dizer cada coisa que você diz
Hey, querido, continuo pensando em você
E eu, estou oficialmente
Tudo o que eu faço é ficar deitada
Ouvindo minhas lágrimas
De ficar procurando seu rosto nas paredes
Apenas há duas semanas você era meu amor
Agora eu nem te conheço
Nem te conheço
Bem, eu queria que você me ligasse agora
Então, eu iria até você de alguma forma
Mas, eu acho que é seguro dizer, querido, seguro dizer
Que eu estou oficialmente sentindo sua falta
Oh, Ninguém consegue fazer como você
Dizer cada coisa que você diz
Hey, querido, continuo pensando em você
E eu, estou oficialmente
Bem, eu pensei que poderia apenas te esquecer, querido
Mas, eu vejo que algumas coisas eu simplesmente não consigo esquecer
Do jeito que você me abraçaria
Das doces coisas que você me falou
Simplesmente não consigo achar um jeito
De te deixar ir
Oh, ninguém consegue fazer como você
Dizer cada coisa que você diz
Hey, querido, continuo pensando em você
E eu, estou oficialmente
É oficial
Você sabe que estou sentindo sua falta
É, sim
Tudo que ouço é pingos de chuva
E eu estou oficialmente sentindo sua falta
