Missing you
John Cruz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lying all alone late at night in my bed
I was all full of feelings
Had pictures of you in my head
I was thinking about the springtime
You and me on the beach
My heart was open
I held out my hand
But you didn't even reach

I'm all dressed up, nowhere to go
I go to the movies but the theater is so cold
I sit there by myself, sipping on my Coke
Movie stars are making love and
My heart is broken
I've been missing you
I've been missing you

Last time I saw you
I was so confused
Things that I thought I had
I found out I could lose
But I don't want to be demanding
I wouldn't do that to you
I won't be waiting outside your window
Watching you at a quarter past two

I'm all dressed up, nowhere to go
I go to the movies but the theater is so cold
I sit there by myself, sipping on my Coke
Movie stars are making love and
My heart is broken




I've been missing you
I've been missing you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of John Cruz's song Missing You describe a person who is struggling with the pain and emptiness of missing someone they love. The first two verses reveal the singer's innermost desires to be with their beloved, to reminisce about the past, and to hold hands once more. It's clear that the singer is lying in bed, unable to sleep due to their overwhelming emotions. However, they reach out to the person they miss, only to be left unacknowledged.


The bridge shifts moods and describes how the singer feels even more hopeless and alone when they try to distract themselves from their lover's absence by going to the movies, where they feel cold and isolated from the others around them. The scenes of romantic love on the big screen only add to their pain and make them feel more broken-hearted. The final verse shows how the singer knows that they shouldn't try to force their lover to come back to them, but they can't help but feel the pain of their unrequited love.


However, the song ends with the singer saying that they have been missing the person whom they love, and it's evident that they will continue to do so. Overall, John Cruz's song Missing You is a heartbreakingly honest portrayal of the emptiness one feels when the person they love is no longer by their side.


Line by Line Meaning

Lying all alone late at night in my bed
I am alone at night and thinking about you


I was all full of feelings
I am emotionally overwhelmed


Had pictures of you in my head
I am remembering you in my mind


I was thinking about the springtime
I am reminiscing about a happy time with you


You and me on the beach
I am thinking about a fun day we had together


My heart was open
I was ready to be vulnerable with you


I held out my hand
I was willing to reach out to you


But you didn't even reach
You didn't reciprocate my feelings


I'm all dressed up, nowhere to go
I am ready for something, but don't know where to find it


I go to the movies but the theater is so cold
I am searching for something to fill the void, but it's not working


I sit there by myself, sipping on my Coke
I am doing this alone and trying to find comfort in it


Movie stars are making love and
I am a quiet observer of love happening around me


My heart is broken
I feel hurt and lonely


I've been missing you
I am longing for you and our past together


Last time I saw you
I am remembering our last interaction


I was so confused
I didn't understand what was happening


Things that I thought I had
I thought we had a connection


I found out I could lose
I realized that what I thought I had is gone


But I don't want to be demanding
I don't want to put pressure on you


I wouldn't do that to you
I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable or unhappy


I won't be waiting outside your window
I won't be stalking you or chasing you


Watching you at a quarter past two
Observing you from a distance is not healthy
