Miss You
Jake and Fanny Lyrics

I don't know why I still miss you
I am uncertain why I still feel drawn to you

But I think about you all the time
My thoughts are consumed by you

Maybe it's my brain or maybe it's your pain
It's possible my mind is playing tricks on me, or perhaps it's the hurt we shared

That took us far from where we started
Our struggles moved us beyond our initial connection

And choose to text while I'm a mess
Despite my emotional state, I can't resist reaching out to you

Maybe I just care more than I can bear
Perhaps I feel deeper than I can handle

Or maybe I'm just brokenhearted
It's plausible that my heart is shattered

But you looked at me like not a liability
You regarded me as valuable and worth your time

Like every little thing I said made sense
You treated my words with respect and understanding

I know it was hard to leave and you said it wasn't me
I understand you had difficulty departing and that it wasn't fundamentally my fault

But I know that I can be a bit intense
I acknowledge that sometimes I can be overwhelming

And it's only been two weeks
It's only been a short while since we have spoken

They say that it gets easier
Others assert that with time, the pain will lessen

But maybe not for me
I'm not convinced that will be the case for me

You love theatre
You possess a passion for theatrical productions

So you were putting on a mask
You were feigning emotions or impressions

I thought I saw right through it
I believed I could discern your true intentions

But I was fogging up the glass
In reality, I was clouding my own perception

But you looked at me like not a liability
Despite my flaws, you thought well of me

Like every little thing I said made sense
You valued my input and ideas

But maybe not for me
However, I don't believe things are improving for me

And I guess that makes me weak
Admitting I still miss you perhaps weakness on my part

You miss home, you miss the old you
You feel a longing for your roots and for a return to a past version of yourself

I miss the old me who didn't know this feeling
I yearn for a former self who was unaware of this type of pain

It's not your fault that now I don't know what to do
I understand it's not your responsibility that I'm unsure how to proceed now

It's never easy to acknowledge you need healing
Recognizing the need to heal is always a difficult step

But I can't heal you alone
I'm unable to help you recover from any afflictions by myself

But you say you need to grow
You express the need for personal development

I'm not there to care for you
I'm not in a position to support you in this endeavor

But I'm so proud of you and I wanted you to know
Regardless, I'm filled with admiration and wanted to express that to you
