Missing You Sucks
Clara Mae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave out all the ugly moments, and
Don′t forget what we had
'Cause it wasn't all bad (bad)
In time (in time)
Know that I′ll be over it
Right now, cryin′ on my sofa, just
Wonderin' where you′re at
I guess old habits die hard
'Cause I′m right back at the start
It's killin′ me slow, I can't switch it off
I put on a brave face to cover it up
I tried therapy, it didn't do much
I′m in a worse place than I started off
I try to let go but that′s not enough
'Cause missin′ you sucks
He's nice and he kinda looks like you
But deep down, I know that it′s still too soon
It feels a little forced
I don't feel likе me anymore (ah, ah, ah-ah)
I guess old habits diе hard
′Cause I'm right back at the start
It's killin′ me slow, I can′t switch it off
I put on a brave face to cover it up
I tried therapy, it didn't do much
I′m in a worse place than I started off
I try to let go but that's not enough
′Cause missin' you sucks
Wake up in the mornin′ then jump back to bed
And without a warnin' you're back in my head
It goes over and over, over and over again
And it′s killin′ me slow, I can't switch it off
I put on a brave face to cover it up
I tried therapy, it didn′t do much
I'm in a worse place than I started off
I try to let go but that′s not enough
'Cause missin′ you, yeah, missin' you
Missin' you, ooh-ooh, ooh
Missin′ you sucks
The song "Missing You Sucks" by Clara Mae is about the aftermath of a breakup or the end of a relationship. The lyrics express how hard it is to move on and how much it hurts to miss someone who was once an important part of your life. Clara asks for kindness from others when they talk about her and the relationship, and she pleads for them to remember the good times because not everything was bad. However, she cannot seem to move on and is stuck in her grief. She has tried therapy and put up a brave face, but nothing seems to work, and she is still missing her ex-partner. Clara admits that she has tried to move on by dating someone new, but it just didn't feel right, and she is still not over her past love.
The lyrics capture the feelings of pain and longing that accompany a breakup, and the song's title itself is an expression of how devastating it can be to miss someone. Clara Mae's song communicates how heart-wrenching it can be to get over someone and that sometimes it feels like it's impossible to move on. The lyrics express well how love and heartbreak can be so difficult to navigate.

Wake up in the mornin' then jump back to bed
I wake up in the morning but quickly return to bed due to feeling overwhelmed
And without a warnin' you're back in my head
Memories and thoughts of you enter my mind unexpectedly
It goes over and over, over and over again
These thoughts repeat themselves in my mind with no end in sight
'Cause missin' you, yeah, missin' you
The experience of missing you is ongoing and continuous
Missin' you, ooh-ooh, ooh
The pain of missing you is overwhelming
Missin' you sucks
The experience of missing you is extremely unpleasant

This song is totally different from others, it's very sincere and I can feel myself identified with the lyrics and the video either. Thank you Clara, you're beautiful 💌

I know this is about romantic love, but it reminds me of grief and depression. The struggle of trying not to think about someone who's gone. You tried everything to feel better again. This feeling is just so relatable 🥺❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹

It sucks doesn't it. But if you give your heart to God and tell him to place it deep deep in him so you can't take and self-sabotage its better most of the time
Fabienne Rapaz
Embrace that you feel that way and transform the pain into power. God helps us do that. Just ask him 5o change your pain into power

I hear you. I lost my dad and this hits so hard. Sending you courage to keep breathing and processing through this grief. You are infinitely potent, so powerful, and so loved.
Fabienne Rapaz
@Vanessa Spears BirthingSacredTruths Im so sorry for your loss. May you hold no trauma from the departure. That was the hardest for me. Be embarrassed in Gods healing warm love and be at peace.

While told my own will get the bright lights to hope again. But it is still too stuck. 💔. Still, wish we come back again. 💔✨❤

your lyrics and songs are always so amazing and heartfelt, i find this to be reflective of heartbreaks, where we try to hold onto someone once closest to us and also try to look for someone else to fill that gap, before truly learning to move on and to love ourselves ❤️
