I Miss You (But Not Like That)

[Verse 1]
Your hoodie’s still hooked on the chair
Found your old gum stuck under there
You left your playlist in my car
Skip every track
Still sing along
It’s bizarre
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t replay the fights we had
Just miss the bad jokes
They were so bad
It’s not a tragedy
It’s just strange
How quiet got loud when plans all changed
[Chorus]
I miss you (but not like that)
Not writing poems
Not crawling back
It’s just the empty seat and all our dumb chit-chat
Yeah
I miss you
But not like that
Not late-night tears
No heart-attack
It’s the way you laughed at things that weren’t that funny
I miss you (but not like that)
[Verse 2]
Your coffee stain on my best tee
Still kind of proud that it’s from you and me
Your spare key’s taped under my sink
Don’t want you here
Just like the way it makes me think
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not rewinding all the pain
Just miss your footprints in the rain
It’s not some epic
Aching song
More like a punchline that ran too long
[Chorus]
I miss you (but not like that)
Not scrolling photos
Not keeping tabs
It’s the empty Tuesday where we’d talk about dumb apps
Yeah
I miss you
But not like that
Not plotting ways to win you back
It’s the way you’d dance off-beat just to be annoying
I miss you (but not like that)
[Bridge]
Guess I’m alright
Guess you are too (hey!)
We both outgrew that old tattoo
I don’t want you here
I just miss the sound
Of you kicking your shoes all over the ground
[Chorus]
I miss you (but not like that)
Not writing letters I’ll never send
Just miss the way you stole my fries and called it “sharing”
Yeah
I miss you
But not like that
We had our moment
That’s all it had
It’s not a grand romance
It’s just a little gap
I miss you (but not like that)
[Outro]
Just a little gap
Yeah
I miss you
But not like that (woah)

rock, Snappy pop-punk band, mixed vocals trading lines. Verses ride tight, clean palm-muted guitars and punchy bass; drums in a steady driving groove. Pre-chorus adds octave guitars and rising toms, then the chorus explodes with wide distorted power chords, open hi-hats, gang shouts, and bright harmonies. Short middle break with half-time drums, then final chorus with extra ad-libs and a shouted outro tag., pop, punk, drama, clean
