I Almost Miss You
The Loveless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh friend, the hour is near
You must go
And I'll be here to face
An empty life on my own
I can't hide it when I'm sad
After all the joy we've had
I already miss you
Like you're already gone

If you could rock my heart to sleep
With your breath upon my cheek
I could dream you'd be returning
With the dawn
But when I face reality
Hands of time, hands of time
Don't turn for me
I already miss you
Like you're already gone

I already suffer with this pain in my heart
When I stare out my window
My whole world's turning dark
In the time that remains
I will try to be strong
But I already miss you
Like you're already gone

I already suffer with this pain in my heart
When I stare out my window
My whole world's turning dark
In the time that remains
I will try to be strong
But I already miss you
Like you're already gone





I already miss you
Like you're already gone

Overall Meaning

The Loveless's song I Almost Miss You is touching and sad, telling the story of a person left alone after their friend leaves. The first verse already sets the tone with the line "the hour is near, you must go / and I'll be here to face / an empty life on my own." The singer is aware of what's coming, but still feels heartbroken about it. The chorus repeats the sad truth: "I already miss you / like you're already gone."


The second verse adds a dreamy quality to the lyrics. If the friend could just "rock my heart to sleep / with your breath upon my cheek," the singer could imagine that the friend would come back with the dawn. But the hands of time keep ticking, and "reality" is that the friend is gone. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the feeling of loss.


The third verse is the most emotional, with the singer feeling the pain in their heart and watching their world turn dark. The only hope is to be strong in the time that remains. But even though the friend is not yet physically gone, the singer already misses them, as if anticipating the loss. The final repetition of the chorus confirms the feeling once again.


Overall, The Loveless's I Almost Miss You is a beautiful and haunting song about the melancholy of losing someone important from their life.


Line by Line Meaning

Oh friend, the hour is near
The time is coming when you have to leave me


You must go
You have to leave me and go away


And I'll be here to face
I will be left here to deal with the aftermath of your departure


An empty life on my own
I will be lonely and lost without you


I can't hide it when I'm sad
I am unable to conceal my feelings of sadness


After all the joy we've had
Despite all the happy times we've shared


I already miss you
I am already feeling your absence


Like you're already gone
It feels like you have already left and I am alone


If you could rock my heart to sleep
If only you could ease the pain in my heart


With your breath upon my cheek
By holding me close and breathing on my cheek


I could dream you'd be returning
I would be able to hope that you might come back


With the dawn
When the new day arrives


But when I face reality
But the truth is, when I look at the facts


Hands of time, hands of time
Time itself


Don't turn for me
Doesn't slow down or stop just because I'm hurting


I already suffer with this pain in my heart
I am already feeling immense emotional pain


When I stare out my window
As I look out the window, thinking of you


My whole world's turning dark
Everything feels bleak and meaningless


In the time that remains
While I still have time left with you


I will try to be strong
I'll do my best to be tough and cope


But I already miss you
Even so, I am overwhelmed with feelings of loss and sadness


Like you're already gone
As if you've already left me, even if you are still here
