Chorus.
The song Missing You by Richie Campbell is an emotional ode to a past relationship. The singer of the song is lamenting the fact that he cannot live with the person he loves nor can he face living without them. The song is directed at his significant other as he expresses his love for her and sings about missing her, hoping for her return. The song opens with the singer admitting that he cannot live with her and does not know what to do. He then sings about his girlfriend who has threatened to leave him because she thinks he does not love her enough. He asks her to believe him when he says he does love her, and that he would miss her if she were to leave him. In the chorus, he confesses that he is missing her and that it is true, stating that he loves her and has proved it to her.
In the second verse, the songwriter takes responsibility for the mistakes he has made in the relationship, admits to hurting his girlfriend, and asks her to forgive him. He acknowledges that he has let her down, but hopes to make it up to her by erasing the sadness and making her happy. He asks her not to listen to others who might talk negatively about their relationship, promising that he will never let her go again.

Agora tinha de cantar em português só pq é de portugal?! É normal que ele cante em inglês visto que se enquadra muito melhor no tipo de música dele. Ele é um orgulho e para mim é um dos melhores cantores portugueses.
