I Don't Miss You at All
FINNEAS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swear I don't
Miss you at all
And I barely still remember
Who's in the pictures on my wall
'Cause, no, I can't
Recall your scent
Jasmine, tuberose and lily
Or your silly French accent
All but forgotten
About those eyes
The shade of green that if he'd seen
Would make F. Scott Fitzgerald cry

But I won't
Break down at two A.M. and call
'Cause I don't
Miss you at all

And I'm sleepin' fine
I don't mean to boast
But I only dream about you
Once or twice a night at most
And it feels so good
Eating alone
I don't get distracted by your smile
And miss the green lights drivin' home
No sign of stoppin'
The house isn't far
But I think our song is comin' on
And now I wanna crash the car

But I won't
Make that mistake again and fall
So I say I don't
Miss you at all




And someday I won't
Miss you at all

Overall Meaning

In "I Don't Miss You at All," FINNEAS sings about moving on from a past relationship and feeling content in his new life without his former partner. He asserts that he doesn't miss them, that their memory has faded from his mind, and that he's able to enjoy his new found freedom. He describes how he's able to sleep well, without being plagued by dreams of his ex, and how he doesn't get distracted by their memory while driving home from work. Despite acknowledging that he and his ex shared some beautiful moments and that he still thinks their song is beautiful, he's resolved to leave the past where it belongs and move forward with his life.


The lyrics detail the stages of healing after a breakup. At first, there's an element of denial with the singer not missing his ex at all. He's created a new life, surrounded himself with new people and experiences, and is happy with the way things are. He's not allowing the past to define him. The notion of forgetting his ex is what hits the hardest, whether it's through not recalling her scent or even her accent. He doesn't want to define his present by what he used to be, displaying the courage to let go so that he can live in the present. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that he still has a ways to go, and that perhaps he hasn't entirely let go of the past. However, he hints at a brighter future where he'll eventually release himself from the emotional baggage of the past.


Line by Line Meaning

I swear I don't
I am telling the truth that I don't


Miss you at all
I don't have any feelings of longing for you


And I barely still remember
It's been so long that I've almost forgotten


Who's in the pictures on my wall
I can barely recall the memories we shared


'Cause, no, I can't
There's absolutely no way


Recall your scent
I cannot remember what you smelled like


Jasmine, tuberose and lily
The specific scents that I cannot remember


Or your silly French accent
Even your voice and accent has been forgotten


All but forgotten
You've almost completely faded away from my memory


About those eyes
Even your unique features, like your eyes


The shade of green that if he'd seen
The same green that F. Scott Fitzgerald would cry over


Would make F. Scott Fitzgerald cry
The color of your eyes was that beautiful


But I won't
I promise that I will not


Break down at two A.M. and call
Reach out to you in my weakest moment of two A.M.


'Cause I don't
Because I truly don't


Miss you at all
Have no interest in missing you


And I'm sleepin' fine
My sleep has not been impacted


I don't mean to boast
I am not trying to brag


But I only dream about you
You only appear in my subconscious


Once or twice a night at most
And even then, it's only occasionally


And it feels so good
It's a relief to not be attached to you anymore


Eating alone
I can enjoy a solitary meal


I don't get distracted by your smile
Without your presence, I can focus on other things


And miss the green lights drivin' home
And avoid making impulsive decisions while driving home


No sign of stoppin'
I am not slowing down anytime soon


The house isn't far
My destination is close


But I think our song is comin' on
Unfortunately, our shared song is playing now


And now I wanna crash the car
It's tempting to do something reckless and dangerous


But I won't
But I have the strength to fight through that temptation


Make that mistake again and fall
Avoid repeating the same mistake and being vulnerable to you


So I say I don't
I'm quite confident in saying that I don't


Miss you at all
Feel nothing for you


And someday I won't
Believing that in the future, it will be even easier


Miss you at all
To not have any feelings of longing for you

And I'm sleepin' fine
I don't mean to boast
But I only dream about you
Once or twice a night at most
And it feels so good
Eating alone
I don't get distracted by your smile
And miss the green lights driving home
No sign of stopping
The house isn't far
But I think our song is coming on
And now I wanna crash the car

But I won't
Make that mistake again and fall
So I say I don't
Miss you at all
And someday I won't
