Missing you
Alison Krauss & John Waite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And that's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
There's a message in the wild
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
But I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say
And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
'Cause I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say
I ain't missing you (I ain't missing you)
No way
Since you've been gone away (I can lie to myself these days)
I ain't missing you
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
And I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you (I can lie to myself these days)
I ain't missing you at all, I ain't missing you (No way, baby)
No matter what my friends say (I'm doing fine here)
And I ain't missing you at all
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself every time I think of you
I'm okay
I'm doing fine here from day to day
I ain't missing you
I can lie to myself

Line by Line Meaning
Every time I think of you
My thoughts often wander to you
I always catch my breath
Your memory takes my breath away
And I'm still standing here
While you are far away, I remain here
And you're miles away
You are far from me
And I'm wondering why you left
I am still puzzled by your departure
And there's a storm that's raging
My emotions are tumultuous
Through my frozen heart tonight
My heart feels cold and numb
I hear your name in certain circles
People still speak of you around me
And it always makes me smile
The mere mention of you brings joy to me
I spend my time
My time is occupied
Thinking about you
Thinking of you is always on my mind
And it's almost driving me wild
My thoughts are driving me crazy
And that's my heart that's breaking
My heart feels shattered
Down this long distance line tonight
The distance between us feels insurmountable
I ain't missing you at all
I am lying to myself that I don't miss you
Since you've been gone away
Since you left me here alone
No matter
Regardless of
What my friends say
Even if my friends tell me otherwise
There's a message in the wild
I am trying to send you a message
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
I am sending this message to you right now
You don't know how desperate I've become
I am getting increasingly desperate
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
It seems like I'm not making any progress
In your world I have no meaning
You don't seem to care about me
Though I'm trying hard to understand
Even though I am trying to comprehend your perspective
But I ain't missing you at all
I am still lying to myself about not missing you
And there's a message that I'm sending out
I am still trying to send a message to you
Like a telegraph to your soul
Hoping this message reaches you deep down
And if I can't bridge this distance
If I can't overcome this distance between us
Stop this heartbreak overload
To avoid the flood of heartbreak I feel
No way
Absolutely not
I can lie to myself these days
I can deceive myself with the notion of not missing you
I'm okay
I am fine
I'm doing fine here from day to day
I am managing life one day at a time
I keep lying to myself every time I think of you
I constantly convince myself that I don't miss you
