Don't Make Me Miss You
Ray Dalton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With a smile like yours I lay down my walls and just fall so easily
With a face like yours I can lose myself and go out my mind
It's not fair, I'm scared you'll leave me, yeah oh yeah

So if you see my on the side, please just walk on by
I don't want you to let me down, tasting tears of a clown
Please don't look my way and turn around and say "Hi"
'Cause sooner later you would say goodbye

So before we start, let's just say that it's over
Before I say those words and you give me the shoulder
Don't want you to leave, but it's best if you don't make me miss you

With those puppy eyes you could tell me lies and I'd just believe you
With those angel kisses, daydreaming of us in a cathedral
I swear in your hands I'm putty, oh

So if you see my on the side, please just walk on by
I don't want you to let me down, tasting tears of a clown
Please don't look my way and turn around and say "Hi"
'Cause sooner later you would say goodbye

So before we start, let's just say that it's over
Before I say those words and you give me the shoulder
Don't want you to leave, but it's best if you don't make me miss you
I only have one heart and it's been broken before
And it just can't take more fixing anymore
Don't want you to leave, but it's best if you don't make me miss you

Ooh, la-la-la-la
Ooh, la-la-la-la
Don't make me miss you, oh yeah
Before we start

So before we start, let's just say that it's over
Before I say those words and you give me the shoulder
Don't want you to leave, but it's best if you don't make me miss you
I only have one heart and it's been broken before




And it just can't take more fixing anymore
Don't want you to leave, but it's best if you don't make me miss you

Line by Line Meaning

With a smile like yours I lay down my walls and just fall so easily
Your attractive smile makes me let my guard down and fall for you effortlessly


With a face like yours I can lose myself and go out my mind
Your gorgeous face distracts me to the point where I forget myself and go crazy


It's not fair, I'm scared you'll leave me, yeah oh yeah
It's unjust that I'm afraid you'll abandon me, yes, indeed


So if you see my on the side, please just walk on by
If you spot me somewhere, kindly ignore me and carry on


I don't want you to let me down, tasting tears of a clown
I don't desire you to disappoint me, forcing me to fake happiness


Please don't look my way and turn around and say 'Hi'
I urge you not to look my way and greet me then turn away


'Cause sooner later you would say goodbye
For you might say farewell shortly after


So before we start, let's just say that it's over
Prior to commencing anything, let's state that it's already ended


Before I say those words and you give me the shoulder
Before I confess and you reject me with hostility


Don't want you to leave, but it's best if you don't make me miss you
I don't wish you to depart, but it's ideal if you don't cause me heartache by leaving


With those puppy eyes you could tell me lies and I'd just believe you
Your innocent-looking eyes could deceive me, and I would trust whatever you say


With those angel kisses, daydreaming of us in a cathedral
Your sweet kisses make me visualize us in a church, lost in a dream world


I swear in your hands I'm putty, oh
I mean it when I say that you have complete control over me


I only have one heart and it's been broken before
I possess just a single heart, and it has experienced pain before


And it just can't take more fixing anymore
My heart is too weak to handle any more repairing


Ooh, la-la-la-la
N/A


Don't make me miss you, oh yeah
Please refrain from making me long for you


Before we start
Before we initiate anything
