miss you
西城男孩(WestLife) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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...
What would it take for you to see?
To make you understand,
That I'll always believe (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 (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, (oh no, 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 (the way that I do)
I just wanna be (just wanna be) right here with you (right here with you)
I don't wanna see (don't wanna see) see us apart (see us apart, oh, baby)
I just wanna say it straight from my heart:
Oh baby I miss you, I do...
The lyrics to Westlife's "Miss You" express the feeling of longing and the struggle to move on after a breakup. The singer is unable to sleep or breathe without their former partner, whose "shadow" still looms over them.

Throughout the song, the singer pleads with the ex to see that they can make it through and that the singer misses them dearly.
The chorus of the song repeats the simple yet heartbreaking sentiment: "I miss you." The repetition emphasizes the depth of the singer's feelings and their inability to let go. The song builds towards a powerful finish, with the final chorus adding a sense of urgency to the singer's plea. The repetition of "I miss you" becomes more desperate, expressing the singer's desire to be reunited with their ex.
Overall, "Miss You" is a poignant and relatable song about the pain of losing someone you love. The lyrics capture the feeling of hopelessness and the struggle to move on, and the music complements the sentiment with a slow, emotional melody.
