YOU MISS ME NOW

songer.co/song/epzclpaimyh9s5cai9h5ub15 [Verse 1] I cried in the kitchen, you looked through me I asked for your heart, you gave me your need I stayed through the silence, through cold and pretend But love isn’t love when it won’t let you in [Pre-Chorus] I held it together, threadbare and torn You only looked up once the feeling was gone [Chorus] You miss me now, but you never saw me then When I reached for your light and was met with the end You feel the hurt now, like it came out of nowhere But I lived with the leaving long before I left there You miss what you lost, not the woman I was You love me in sorrow, not in our love [Verse 2] I whispered my fears, you turned away Called me too heavy, too much in your day I gave you my quiet, I gave you my peace But I lost myself trying to help you release [Pre-Chorus] I broke without breaking, I begged without sound You’re grieving a silence that’s always been loud [Chorus] You miss me now, but you never showed up When I needed your soul, not just your touch You feel it now like it’s suddenly clear But I begged you to listen for so many years You miss what you lost, not the woman I was You mourn in the silence, but never heard us [Bridge] You say you were scared, that you didn’t know how But I needed someone—not someday, not now You found your emotion the day I moved on But I cried like this once, and you told me be strong [Final Chorus] You miss me now, but I needed you then Not the ghost of a man who comes back at the end You feel the pain, but you never took part In the loving, the holding, the hearing of heart You miss what you lost, not the woman I am And I won’t come back for a half-hearted man
