Miss You
Taina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To hold my head up high
If you knew, knew, knew
How I miss you so much
So much time's gone by
Since this was you and I
Will you call my phone?
A photo on the wall
That we made in the fall
Now's the only thing
Left for me I think.
I would try, try, try
To hold my head up high
If you knew, knew, knew
How I miss you so much
Would it help if I
Appologize this time
Just to make it known
I don't wanna be alone
Staring at the floor
And pride walk out the door
Say what you would Do
If you miss me too
I would try, try, try
To hold my head up high
If you knew, knew, knew
How I miss you so much
I would try, try, try
To hold my head up high
If you knew, knew, knew
How I miss you so much
Tell me Do you miss your mother, your father?
Do you miss your sister, your brother
When you miss the love, when you mis a friend
Say it loudly don't be afraid
I would try, try, try
To hold my head up high
If you knew, knew, knew
How I miss you so much
I would try, try, try
To hold my head up high
If you knew, knew, knew
How I miss you so much
The song "Miss You" by Taina is about missing someone dearly and trying to hold oneself together despite the pain of separation. The repeated lines "I would try, try, try to hold my head up high, if you knew, knew, knew how I miss you so much" express the struggle to appear strong and not let the emotions show. The song talks about the passage of time since the separation and the desperate longing to hear from the person again, even if it's just a phone call. The only reminder of the person left is a photo on the wall, which adds to the feeling of loss.
The song also explores the idea of apologizing and not wanting to be alone. The singer wonders if apologizing would make the other person come back and not wanting to be alone emphasizes the loneliness that comes with the separation. The somber tone of "Staring at the floor and pride walk out the door, say what you would do if you miss me too" highlights the pain and uncertainty caused by the separation.
The bridge of the song takes a different turn and asks the listener if they miss their loved ones too. It emphasizes that missing someone is universal and nothing to be ashamed of. The song ends with the chorus, reiterating the longing for the person and the struggle to keep oneself strong.
Overall, "Miss You" is a touching and emotional song that captures the pain and loneliness of missing someone.
