Miss Me
Miss Me
Miss Me

I can't imagine my Sundays without you around
You make this big bright city feel like a small town
I stay awake wondering where it is that you might be
The silence leaves me sad, alone and so empty.

Was it something I did, that you didn't like
Was is something I said, in the heat of a fight
Was it something so wrong that you couldn't pull through

Do you miss me?
Like I miss you.
It's been so long,
Since I kissed you.
Now my heart's bruised
It's black and blue
And I wonder
Do you feel it too?

Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?

I tried to call you, but you never answer the phone
You said you'd always be there but baby, now I'm alone
I won't give up, on our love, I don't have it in me
Cause when push, comes to shove, you're the one that I need

Was it something I did, that you didn't like
Was is something I said, in the heat of a fight
Was it something so wrong that you couldn't pull through

Do you miss me?
Like I miss you.
It's been so long,
Since I kissed you.
Now my heart's bruised
It's black and blue
And I wonder
Do you feel it too?

Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?

I need to tell you that I'm not going away
Screw the distance, it doesn't stop the pain
I'm holding on cause I just can't let go
So I need to know

Do you miss me?
M-m-miss me
Do you miss me?
Like I miss you.
It's been so long,
Since I kissed you.
Now my heart's bruised
It's black and blue
And I wonder
Do you feel it too?

Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?




Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
