I Still Miss You
Keith Anderson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've changed the presets in my truck
So those old songs don't sneak up
They still find me and remind me
Yeah you come back that easy
Try restaurants I've never been to
Order new things off the menu
That I never tried cause you didn't like
Two drinks in you were by my side

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
And I still miss you
I've done everything move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you
I still miss you baby

I never knew til you were gone
How many pages you were on
It never ends I keep turning
And line after line and you are there again
I dont know how to let you go
You are so deep down in my soul
I feel helpless so hopeless
Its a door that never closes
No I don't know how to do this

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
And I still miss you
I've done everything
Move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you yeah

I've talked to friends
I've talked to myself
I've talked to God
I prayed liked hell but I still miss you
I tried sober I tried drinking
I've been strong and I've been weak
And I still miss you
I've done everything
Move on like I'm supposed to
I'd give anything for one more minute with you
I still miss you yeah





I still miss you
I still miss you, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Keith Anderson's song "I Still Miss You" describe a person who has tried everything to move on from a lost love but still can't forget them. The singer reveals that they have changed the presets in their truck to avoid the old songs that trigger memories of their former partner. Yet, they admit that these memories still find them and remind them of their past relationship.


The singer has also attempted to try new things - visiting new restaurants and ordering new dishes, but these actions have done little to remove the former lover from their thoughts. The singer has "talked to friends," "talked to themselves," and "talked to God" to try to find closure and help them move on, but nothing has worked. They have tried to numb their pain by both sober and drinking, but ultimately they still miss the person they once loved.


The bridge of the song reveals the depth of the singer's longing for their former partner. They never knew how much a part of their life that person was until they were gone. The singer feels helpless and hopeless, unable to close the door on their past relationship. They still miss their ex and would give anything for one more minute with them.


Overall, the song is a poignant portrayal of heartache and the lingering pain of lost love. The singer in the song has tried everything and realizes that they still miss their former partner, and that time may not heal all of their wounds.

@benstuart5597

Yeah... it hurts. My mom passed away a few years ago. It pops up at the weirdest times all these years later.

@Joanne530

No matter what you going through don’t feel depressed and don’t let anyone or anything make you feel less of yourself because in every problem there’s a solution and in relationships you can also get the specific person you want to love you !
You can get help in everything you want, only if you ask for help.

@ladyblakeney

This song keeps coming up for me lately. Thank you, Keith, for helping me with the grief
