I mis you

(Verse 1)
I miss the little banter,
The teasing that you’d throw my way.
Every laugh and every whisper,
Had a warmth you’d never say.
You called me names with that crooked smile,
But your eyes told me I was safe a while.
I didn’t mind the bruise on my pride,
'Cause your care was hiding deep inside.

(Chorus)
I miss you — yeah, the way you used to be,
The girl who bullied me but loved secretly.
Now you’re colder, and I can’t break through,
I don’t like this stranger I’m talking to.
Give me back the one I knew,
Who hurt me soft, and cared me true —
Yeah, I miss you.

(Verse 2)
You’d roll your eyes, I’d play along,
Our hearts danced inside a joke gone wrong.
Behind your words, I heard a beat,
That made my foolish world complete.
Now you stand with your walls so high,
And the warmth I knew has said goodbye.
You used to fight, now you just fade,
And I miss the storm that we once made.

(Chorus)
I miss you — yeah, the way you used to be,
The girl who bullied me but loved secretly.
Now you’re colder, and I can’t break through,
I don’t like this stranger I’m talking to.
Give me back the one I knew,
Who hurt me soft, and cared me true —
Yeah, I miss you.

(Bridge)
Maybe time just wore you down,
Maybe life took back your crown.
But I still see that spark inside,
Buried under all your pride.
If you ever find that laugh again,
I’ll be waiting where we began.

(Final Chorus)
I miss you — yeah, the way you used to be,
The girl who bullied me but loved secretly.
Now you’re colder, and I can’t break through,
I don’t like this stranger I’m talking to.
Give me back the one I knew,
Who hurt me soft, and cared me true —
Yeah, I miss you.

(Outro)
I miss the banter, I miss the sting,
The care that hid in everything.
You broke me down but built me too,
God, I miss — I miss you.
