"Miss You Like Hell" by Chris James follows a love caught in an exhausting push and pull, where one partner keeps leaving for the open road while the other waits through weeks of silence. The repeated promise to return turns out to be a lie, and the ache of missing her collides with the slow realization that they were meant to be but not meant to last. Even while trying to keep an open mind and save himself, he still misses her like hell.
Miss You Like Hell Lyrics by Chris James
Don’t run, don’t run, don’t run, don’t run away from me
Wish I could read your thoughts, practice telepathy
I always wonder what you’re tryna find
No focus, am I out of my mind?
This ping pong back and forth will be the death of me
Well, shame can’t spend all summer crying over someone who just can’t decide
What the hell was I trying to find?
And then she said, “Don’t wait for me, the open road is calling me”
But I’ll be back one day, I guess you lied, mmh
Tryna keep an open mind, but it’s been weeks
Plans all done, don’t know why I still do this to myself
I still miss you like hell
Ooh, still miss you like hell
Ooh, still miss you like hell
Look at all our chances, one by one, so effortless
I’ll save myself one day, we’ll both be over it
I always wonder what you’re tryna hide
I’m tired of always living your life
We’re meant to be, not meant to last, it’s for the best
Well, shame can’t spend all summer crying over someone who just can’t decide
What the hell was I trying to find?
And then she said, “Don’t wait for me, the open road is calling me”
But I’ll be back one day, I guess you lied, mmh
Tryna keep an open mind, but it’s been weeks
Our plans all done, don’t know why I still do this to myself
I still miss you like hell
Ooh, still miss you like hell
Ooh, still miss you like hell
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
You can call me anytime, you know I’ll be here, I’ll be alright
You can call me anytime, you know I’ll be here, I’ll be alright
