[Verse 1]
You never wore my jacket home
I never called you late at night
We never put a label on
Whatever felt so right
Just coffee cups and parking lots
You laughing in my old truck
Funny how a “maybe someday”
Can leave you this stuck
[Chorus]
I miss you like an ex I never had
Like a goodbye that we never really said
Every “talk soon” just hangs in the air
Like you might still be there
We were almost something, now we’re just a ghost
Of could’ve, should’ve, hanging ‘round the posts
It’s crazy how it hurts this bad
To miss someone I never had
[Verse 2]
You’d vent about the guys you met
I’d pretend it didn’t sting
Change the subject, crack a joke
Hide that little ringless dream
Now I scroll past your updates
Thumb shakes on your name
Do I like it, do I call you
Or just feel this all again
[Chorus]
I miss you like an ex I never had
Like a goodbye that we never really said
Every “talk soon” just hangs in the air
Like you might still be there
We were almost something, now we’re just a ghost
Of could’ve, should’ve, hanging ‘round the posts
It’s crazy how it hurts this bad
To miss someone I never had
[Bridge]
Did you ever sit there, thinking ‘bout me
Or was I just the friend you’d text at three
I’m stuck between stranger and used-to-be
With nothing to show but these memories
[Chorus]
I miss you like an ex I never had
Like a goodbye that we never really said
Every “talk soon” just hangs in the air
Like you might still be there
We were almost something, now we’re just a ghost
Of could’ve, should’ve, written in the past
And it still knocks the wind right out of my chest
To miss someone I never had (oh)
To miss someone I never had
