I Miss You
Jamestown Story Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All was lost but not forgot, the pain controls my every thought
A new day's battle has begun, all was lost and nothing's won
I can't wait to see the day, when the tears all go away....
I miss you, I kissed you, when we layed you in your grave
I need you to believe you, things were meant to be this way...
Today came with shattered dreams, everything's not what it seems
Don't think death won't come get you, cause it will life's misconstrued
I can't wait to see the day, when the tears all go away....
I did nothing at all, it's all my fault your gone
Your face on my wall, it tells it all, you will live on...
The lyrics to Jamestown Story's "I Miss You" are incredibly poignant and heartfelt, detailing the pain and grief that comes with the loss of a loved one.

The pain of the loss controls his every thought, and it's clear that he is struggling to come to terms with the fact that his loved one is no longer with him.

My mom was just the softest, most gentle woman in the world. She was really, really sweet, but when it came to her kids, she was just really, really fierce. She was an extraordinary mother. She was so selfless, and she was just one of those very, very kind people that loved to do everything for others. And I could just never be as good a mother or person as she was… She was a great listener, and a great friend. She was my best friend. I could talk to her about everything. She made me feel like I had a voice, and no matter what would happen, I knew she’d love me. My mother was a full-time mother. She didn’t have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences. Everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. I will try my best, but I don’t think I could ever be. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving… She’s better than me. She was our best friend. My mother fought cancer for a few years and died from complications due to her heart because of chemo. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was. There are no words to express what an amazing woman and mother she was. I truly hope she knew. It hurts so much, all the time, everyday. She was my best friend, my support, and my biggest fan. I know she will be with me always, but I’ll never stop missing her. She died suddenly on October 7th of last year. She was only 61. I'm 24. I’m just very emotional and sad today. I'm not married but i do have a 9 month old baby girl. I'm always thinking aabout whenever I do get married, she wont be there to see any of that. She never met my daughter. It just really hurts. I guess why I’m so upset is we’re moving in a couple of months and its my childhood home. All of our memories with her are in that house. My heart always hurts. Like a weight on my chest. I listened to a video of my moms laugh and my entire being just hurts. 💔

r.i.p all the kids that thought they weren't worth anything. Who thought nobody would cry over them and so they took their own lives. :( If you are reading this right now, know that you are an important part to this world whether you believe it or not. You are loved and you are wanted. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, now learn to accept it!

Jamestown Story reminds me a little of Secondhand Serenade.
