In "Miss Us," Devon Gabriella reaches out after a long silence, wanting only the comfort of an old friend, not the romance they once had. The late-night call carries both regret for the pain she caused and relief that healing, through medication and honest reckoning, finally arrived. The repeated contrast between missing him and not missing the relationship captures that tender, complicated space where bitterness could soften into something sweeter, even if letting go still feels impossible.
Miss Us Lyrics by Devon Gabriella
There must be somethin’ in the water
Or tequila’s gettin’ stronger
Every sip makes it feel longer since we’ve talked
Can we just talk
‘Bout life and taxes and your family?
Is your brother getting married
In late June or mid July?
Can’t remember, but
I tried, I’ve cried
Took three months of medication
And some sober revelations
To feel right, oh, it feels right
So if you hear me callin’ when it’s half past ten
I don’t want your body, I just need my friend
Don’t you die on that hill, it’s been long enough
I just miss you, honey, but I don’t miss us, us (Us)
I know I put you right through hell
But swear to God, I wish you well
I couldn’t find it in myself to name my fears
For two whole years
I think you saw it coming (You saw it coming)
Swallowed the sick for nothing
‘Cause all my guts came spilling out
So if you hear me callin’ when it’s half past ten
I don’t want your body, I just need my friend
Don’t you die on that hill, it’s been long enough
I just miss you, honey, but I don’t miss us
Guess I’m curious to see what would happen if you and me
Let the bitter turn to sweet (Let the bitter turn to sweet)
I know I should let it breathe
Let you go and set it free
But that’s never come so easily to me
So if you hear me callin’ when it’s half past ten
I don’t want your body, I just need my friend
Don’t you die on that hill, it’s been long enough
I just miss you, honey, but I don’t miss us
