[Intro (steel + breath)]
[(steel bends… long pause)]
[Verse 1]
I still wake up reaching out
Like you’re lying next to me
Half asleep, I forget somehow…
Then reality hits me
Your side of the bed stays cold
Even when I pull you close
In my head, where you still are…
But you’re not
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep telling myself it’ll fade
But it don’t feel that way
[Chorus]
You don’t miss me… (meee)
Not the way I miss you
Not the way I still feel everything we went through
You moved on so easily… (eaaasily)
Like it didn’t mean a thing
While I’m still holding onto everything
You don’t miss me
[Verse 2]
I see your name light up my phone
But it’s never you anymore
Just old messages I can’t delete…
I read ‘em like before
You said forever like you meant it
I held onto every second
Guess I was the only one…
Who believed it
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m learning what it feels like
To love someone who’s alright
[Chorus]
You don’t miss me… (meee)
Not the way I miss you
Not the way I still feel everything we went through
You moved on so easily… (eaaasily)
Like it didn’t mean a thing
While I’m still holding onto everything
You don’t miss me
[Bridge (stripped, steel heavy)]
[(no drums, steel cries)]
Maybe I’m just hard to forget…
Or maybe you already did
[(steel answer)]
Maybe I’m still stuck in the past…
And you ain’t looking back
[Final Chorus (emotional peak, slight crack)]
You don’t miss me… (let it break)
Not the way I need you to
Not the way I still feel everything about you
You let go so easily…
While I’m barely breathing
Trying to find a way to stop believing
You don’t miss me
[Outro (steel solo)]
[(steel fades…)]
