Missing Your Love
Jonny Lang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You lay me down, whisper in my ear
Well, it may be my name you call
But it's his name I hear

You promised me through thick and thin
You told me you loved me, you told me a lie
'Cause you love him
And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me,
I'm still missin' your love

And when we talk, you look into my eyes
Your talkin to me but baby I can see
He's on your mind

And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me, I'm still missin' your love
I reach out for you and you turn away

It takes all I can do to make it through the day
And I'm missin' your love And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way




Though your here with me,
I'm still missin' your love

Overall Meaning

Jonny Lang's song "Missing Your Love" is a soulful ballad of heartbreak and longing. The song talks about a lover who is physically present but emotionally unavailable, as her mind and heart are occupied by another man. The verses of the song depict the singer's struggle, as he is continuously haunted by the thought of his lover's infidelity - every time she calls his name, he hears the name of the other man, and every time they speak, he can tell that she is preoccupied with thoughts of her lover.


The chorus of the song, "And I'm missing your love every day, I'm missing your love every way, Though you're here with me, I'm still missing your love," reiterates the pain of the singer's situation, who finds solace in his lover's physical presence, but ultimately longs for her emotional connection. The last lines of the song, "It takes all I can do to make it through the day, And I'm missing your love," emotionally convey the heartbreak of the singer and the significant effort he makes every day to keep his relationship going despite the emotional unavailability of his lover.


Overall, "Missing Your Love" is a soulful and melancholic depiction of heartbreak and the longing for the emotional connection of a partner who's physically present but emotionally absent.


Line by Line Meaning

You lay me down, whisper in my ear
You seduce me and make me feel special


Well, it may be my name you call
You address me as if you care


But it's his name I hear
But in reality, you are thinking about someone else


You promised me through thick and thin
You made a vow to be there for me no matter what


You told me you loved me, you told me a lie
You professed love but you were lying all along


'Cause you love him
Because your heart belongs to someone else


And I'm missin' your love every day
I yearn for your affection every single day


I'm missin' your love every way
I miss your love in every aspect of our relationship


Though your here with me, I'm still missin' your love
Even when you are with me, I feel like something is missing


And when we talk, you look into my eyes
We communicate but I sense a lack of connection


Your talkin to me but baby I can see
Although you are talking to me, your mind is elsewhere


He's on your mind
You are thinking about him instead of me


I reach out to you and you turn away
I try to connect with you, but you reject me


It takes all I can do to make it through the day
It's very difficult for me to get through each day


And I'm missin' your love
I'm longing for your affection
