miss you
Lee Carr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Oh yeah yeah yeah)
(Oh oh, oh woah oh)

I can't believe you'd do this to me.
After all the things that we did together.
And now you're gone, I'm going out of my mind.
Trying to hide the pain that I'm feeling.
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just so confused.
'Cause I'm feeling out of place without you in my life.

There's something I want to tell you (Tell you)
And there's something I think that you should know (Baby, that you should know)
Girl I wish you was still here with me (I miss you)
You, you (I miss you) You, you (Girl)

How many nights can I go to bed without getting no sleep.
How many times can I see you out and you don't speak to me.
Seems like the closer I get to you, the more you pull away from me.
And I don't know why, I, I.
I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just so confused.
Cause I been in and out of places without you in my life.

There's something I want to tell you (Tell you)
And there's something I think that you should know (Baby, that you should know)

Girl I wish you was still here with me (I miss you)
You, you (I miss you) You, you (Girl)

What is the deal, I thought we were cool but I guess I was wrong.
I don't understand what I did to you to make you want to leave baby.

There's something I want to tell you (Tell you)
And there's something I think that you should know (Baby, that you should know)
Girl I wish you was still here with me (I miss you)
You, you (I miss you) You, you (Girl)

So girl, see how you got me feeling?
Pick up the phone girl.
I mean, let me know something.
Damn, something I got to tell you.

There's something I want to tell you (Tell you)
And there's something I think that you should know.




I wish you was still here with me (I miss you)
I miss you, woah oh oh I.
