Miss You Goodbye
K. Michelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I miss you in the day
I miss you in the night
I miss the way we used to dump
But I don't miss your lies

I miss the way we laughed
You used to make me smile
Maybe you'll see
When we can't be
And then you'll come around

Oh I needed love
Oh I was in and up,
Oh you can't say I didn't try,
It might make me cry
Oh it's gon' hurt no lie
Miss you one goodbye

I wish that you could change
But I don't think you can
I wish that you could feel this pain
So you could understand

I hate you're not the one
I hate you're moving on,
'Cause my bed it was made for two,
But I sleep here alone

Oh I needed love
Oh I was in and up,
Oh you can't say I didn't try,
It might make me cry
Oh it's gon' hurt no lie
Miss you one goodbye

And I hold on to the mile,
And I pick up and I dial,
But I wanna, you I wanna, you I wanna-na
If there's any hope,
My head says let it go,
My heart says fight for, fight for who you love,
But I'm giving up

I needed love
Oh I was in and up,
Oh you can't say I didn't try,
It might make me cry




Oh it's gon' hurt no lie
Miss you one goodbye
