Missing You
Drake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't stop missing you, wish I was still with you
I can't stop missing you (No, no, no, no)
I can't stop missing you, wish I was still with you
I can't stop missing you, (No, no, no, no)

Nah,
I never needed advice about
All the things you liked to do when it was lights out
I drove nice cars
I got a nice house
But now I'm steady missing you like a strikeout
I always wished I would of cared more
That's my only feeling inside when ever I get a song done
I'm scared that every girl I care for
Will find a better man and end up happier in the long run
Ya, and when she not by my side
And I hear that she gone
Now it's like a shock to my pride
I don't care if she know
Cause that's basically just a male ego
Speaking aloud to some real people
But you can bounce back
Go ladies,
More records, more sex, more babies
Yeah, wanna grant one of my wishes
Tired missing you, I'm tryna make you a misses

I miss the way you kiss
I miss the way wear them heels and make it switch
Miss the way ya hair blows in the wind
And I miss you staying here till the morning
Miss the way you put on your makeup
Miss the way you love me too much
It's everything about you baby
Wanna know where you been lately
Do you go out, do you still live at your old house
Do you got somebody new in your life
Cause I can't get you outta my mind

And I wanna erase but I can't stop seeing your face
In every girl I try to replace
You with why can't I get over it
Simply cause I can't

I can't stop missing you, (Can't Stop) wish I was still with you (With you)
I can't stop missing you (No, no, no, no)
I can't stop missing you, (Can't stop) wish I was still with you (with you)
I can't stop missing you, (No, no, no, no)

Missin everything you say,
Missin all the crazy love we made
Why'd you throw it all away
I want you to know it's been hell tryna do this with out you here
Baby 07' supposed to be our year
You confront my worst fears
And I had my doubts every time you was going out
Cause I knew you were tellin' me lies
And I can't get that outta my mind

And I wanna erase but I can't stop seeing your face
In every girl I try to replace
You with why can't I get over it
Simply cause I can't

I can't stop missing you, (Can't Stop) wish I was still with you (With you)
I can't stop missing you (No, no, no, no)
I can't stop missing you, (Can't stop) wish I was still with you (with you)
I can't stop missing you, (No, no, no, no)

Wish I, Could wake up and forget about you
Not tryin to call you when I know I want to
(O wish I,) I gotta fight this feeling can't let it take over me
You just don't understand how much you were apart of me

I can't stop missing you, (Oooo No) wish I was still with you (With you)
I can't stop missing you (No, no, no, no)
I can't stop missing you, (Can't stop) wish I was still with you (with you)
I can't stop missing you, (No, no, no, no)

I can't stop missing you, (Can't Stop) wish I was still with you (With you)
I can't stop missing you NO, NO, NO, NO
I can't stop missing you, (Can't stop) wish I was still with you (with you)
I can't stop missing you, (No, no, no, no)

I can't stop, missing you
I can't stop, missing you
(I don't wanna stop)
I can't stop missing you
(Baby) I can't stop missing you,




No, No, No, No
I can't stop, Missin you

Overall Meaning

Drake's "Missing You" reflects upon the pain and remorse of a past relationship that has ended, and the singer's inability to move on from the memories and longing for his ex-girlfriend. He admits to feelings of regret and blames himself for not having cared for her more when they were together. His fear of being replaced by someone else who would make her happier than he did is also evident in the lyrics. He misses everything about her and wishes he could erase her from his mind, but he cannot stop seeing her face in every girl he tries to replace her with. He concludes the song by expressing the depth of his feelings and how much she was a part of him that he cannot escape from.

Iโ€™ve changed my YT name since I posted this but to answer your questions..

@danib915

I was in physical prison but in the UK we have a really relaxed justice system in the sense we try to focus more on rehabilitation so you work your way through a category system and I was in D Cat prison at the time so wrote my comment during a home leave (you can go home for up to 5 days / 4 nights once a month) I had access to my mobile phone.
For dinner we were given normal food but Ofcourse of lower quality to outside food but it was enough to live on, you were also paid a small amount of money for doing jobs inside the prison up to ยฃ5 per day for probably 8 hours work but this allowed you to purchase items from a catalog like sweets and cooking ingredients
๐Ÿ˜Š

Hope this makes sense, Ofcourse certain people have access to phones and internet whilst inside prison but I was not one of them as I wanted to get home to my family as quick as possible
