I Miss You
Klymaxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I turned around to say
That I loved you then I realized
And it was just my mind
Playing tricks on me
It seems colder lately at night
And I try to sleep with the lights on
I pray to God it's you
I just can't believe
That we're through
I miss you (I miss you)
There's no other way to say it
And I, and I can deny it
I miss you (I miss you)
It's so easy to see
I miss you and me
Is it done and over this time?
Have we really changed our minds
But it's all this love
All the feelings that we used to share
I refused to believe
That you don't care
I miss you (I miss you)
There's no other way to say it
And I, and I can deny it
I miss you (I miss you)
It's so easy to see
I've got to gather my senses together
I've been through worse kinds of weather
If it's over now, be strong
I can't believe that you're gone
I've got carry on
I miss you (I miss you)
Oh no other way to say it
And I, and I can deny it
I miss you (I miss you)
It's so easy to see
That you're part of me now
No other way to say it
It's so easy to see
That you're part of me now
It's driving me crazy
It's so easy to see
That you're part of me now
That you're part of me now
I miss you (I miss you)
It's driving me crazy
I don't want to live without you
I miss you (I miss you)
It's so easy to see
I'm missing me
The song "I Miss You" by Klymaxx is a heart-wrenching ballad about the pain of losing someone you love. The singer laments the end of a relationship and expresses her longing for the person who has left her. She describes the confusion and sadness she feels when she hears what she thinks is the voice of her former lover, only to realize it was just her imagination. The nights are cold and lonely for her, and she struggles to sleep without the comfort of the other person's presence. The singer prays for the phone to ring, hoping that it will be her lost love on the other end. She cannot accept that the relationship is truly over and worries that the other person no longer cares for her. She reflects on the love they once shared and wonders if it is possible to recapture those feelings. She resolves to carry on, even though she feels incomplete without the other person.
The lyrics of "I Miss You" poignantly capture the experience of loss and the longing for what once was. The singer's emotions are raw and intense, conveying the depth of her pain. The repetition of the hook, "I miss you," underscores the central theme of the song and its sense of emptiness and longing. The use of imagery, such as the cold nights and sleeping with the lights on, paints a vivid picture of the singer's loneliness and despair. The hopeful note at the end of the song, where she resolves to carry on despite missing her love, adds a note of resilience and determination.

I thought I heard your voice yesterday
I mistakenly thought I heard your voice recently
When I turned around to say that I loved you then I realized
I had a sudden realization that I can no longer confess my love to you then
And it was just my mind playing tricks on me
It was just my imagination that got me thinking about you again
It seems colder lately at night
I feel like the nights have become colder of late
And I try to sleep with the lights on
I feel safer sleeping with the lights on
Every time the phone rings I pray to God it's you
I keep hoping that every phone call I receive is from you
I just can't believe that we're through
I find it hard to accept that our relationship is over
I miss you (I miss you) There's no other way to say it
The only way to say it is that I miss you
And I, and I can deny it
I cannot ignore the fact that I miss you
It's so easy to see I miss you and me
It is quite apparent that I miss the both of us being together
Is it done and over this time?
Is it truly over between us?
Have we really changed our minds
Have we both truly had a change of heart?
But it's all this love all the feelings that we used to share
All these emotions and moments we once had shared are still wrapped up in love
I refused to believe that you don't care
I do not want to accept the possibility that you do not care about me
I've got to gather my senses together
I need to collect and get my emotions under control
I've been through worse kinds of weather
I have faced tougher challenges than this
If it's over now, be strong
If our relationship is over, I need to be strong
I can't believe that you're gone
I find it hard to come to terms with you not being around me anymore
I miss you (I miss you) Oh no other way to say it
I have to repeat it again, I miss you
That you're part of me now
You are now a part of me, whether present or not
It's driving me crazy I don't want to live without you
The thought of living without you is making me lose my mind
It's so easy to see I'm missing me
It's obvious that I am not complete without you
