miss you
James Hersey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Show me
What it means to be yours
What it means to be more, more
What it means to be more, ah
Show me
What a difference you make
What a word that you say now could mean
When it's over and it comes time for change

'Cause I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone, ah

Show me
How to get what you give
How to let go and live, live
How to let go and live, ah

Show me
What a life this could be
What a promise you make now could mean
When the day comes that everything you see
Is without me

'Cause I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone, ah

'Cause I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you, ah
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you, ah




I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you, ooh

I’m high as a fucking kite rn and this is the best song I’ve ever heard in my life, it’s so calming, yet romantic but serious, chill but nerve wracking. A true masterpiece worthy of its entitlement. A perfect piece of sound that I am happy I listened to.

Svetlana R

His voice is everything

João Paulo Pires
