miss you

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't sleep, I just can't breathe
When your shadow is all over me, baby
Don't wanna be a fool in your eyes
'Cause what we had was built on lies
And when our love seems to fade away
Listen to me hear what I say

I don't wanna feel the way that l do
I just wanna be right here with you
I don't wanna see, see us apart
I just wanna say it straight from my heart
"I miss you"

What would it take for you to see
To make you understand that I'll always believe
You and I can make it through
And I still know I can't get over you
'Cause when our love seems to fade away
Listen to me hear what I say

I don't wanna feel the way that I do
I just wanna be right here with you
I don't wanna see, see us apart
I just wanna say it straight from my heart
"Oh baby I miss you, I do"

'Cause when our love always fades away
Listen to me hear what I say

I don't wanna feel the way that I do
I just wanna be right here with you
I don't wanna see, see us apart
I just wanna say it straight from my heart
"I miss you, I miss you, I do"

I don't wanna feel the way that I do
I just wanna be right here with you
I don't wanna see, see us apart




I just wanna say it straight from my heart
"Oh baby I miss you, I do"
