Miss Me More Lyrics

Silence, laughter

You were like a rollercoaster

That speeds up, slows down

Till we were lost in a loop of

Endless tries and one-sided love

Doomed from the start, that was us

Bitter, no show

The glimmers of hope I lived for

Soft touch, harsh lies

Still, I held you like a lifeline

You never called us something good

Always unsure where we stood

I could have saved my breath

I could have saved my heart

I should have realized you loved yourself more than you ever loved us

Was a hopeless romantic

Till you came around

I built up your city

And you burned down my house

Now I search through the ashes

Who was I before?

God, I miss you

But I miss me more

Messes, problems

You know I was there in a heartbeat

And tried to solve 'em

I came up with all the game plans

I schemed against your enemies

I strategized till they declared defeat

Your shimmering shield that was me

I wish I would have saved my heart

I should have realized you loved yourself more than you ever loved us

Was a hopeless romantic

Till you came around

I built up your city

And you burned down my house

I still rushed in to help you

With every fire

'Cause I'm the type who'll always be in your corner

A hopeless romantic

While you spun your lies

I paved your streets gold and hung sparkling lights

Now I search through the ashes

Who was I before?

Sure, I miss you

But I miss me more

Scratches and bruises and injuries (Oh-oh)

I reached for your hand but you pulled away (Oh-oh)

I gave you so much, it was never enough

It was never (Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh)

Scratches and burn wounds and injuries (Oh-oh)

I exhaled your toxins and misery (Oh-oh)

Left everything behind

Left us there to die

Escaped the fire, then ran so far

Till I made it, I made it out

Was a hopeless romantic

Till you came around

I built up your city

And you burned down my house

So it's time to build a new one

A city that shines

A city that gives back

A city that's mine

A hopeless romantic

Drew hearts 'round my wounds

"Goodbye" isn't giving up, it just means you let go

I'm unpacking the hurt and moving along

Slowly finding my way back

Yeah, I'm finding my way back

To who I was before
