Missing U Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby, it's so real to me
Now that it's over
The space where you used to be
Your head on my shoulder
All of the plans we made
That never happened
Now your scent on my pillow's faded
At least you left me with something
[Chorus]
There's this empty space you left behind
Now you're not here with me
I keep digging through our waste of time
But the picture's incomplete
There's this empty space you left behind
Now you're not here with me
I keep digging through our waste of time
But the picture's incomplete
'Cause I'm missing you
I miss you
[Verse 2]
Can't make sense of all of the pieces
Of my own delusions
Can't take all these memories
Don't know how to use ‘em
There's a slick washed up onto the beach
I follow the traces
Finding clues in my pockets and opening boxes
And going places we went
Remember to forget
Thinking how it could been
I've turned all my sorrow into glass
It don't leave no shadow
[Chorus]
There's this empty space you left behind
Now you're not here with me
I keep digging through our waste of time
But the picture's incomplete
There's this empty space you left behind
Now you're not here with me
I keep digging through our waste of time
But the picture's incomplete
'Cause I'm missing you
I miss you
[Bridge]
(I miss you)
This part of you, this clock that stopped
This residue, it's all I've got
(I miss you)
This part of you, this clock that stopped
(Clock that stopped)
This residue (It's all I got)
It's all I've got
[Outro]
There's this empty space you left behind
(This part of you, this clock that stopped)
I keep thinking you're still right beside me
(This residue, it's all I got)
You're still there
There's this empty space you left behind
(This part of you, this clock that stopped)
All the love you gave, it still defines me
There's this empty space you left behind
I keep thinking you're still right beside me
There's this empty space you left behind
All the love you gave, it still defines me

What did Robyn say about "Missing U"?
When I wrote this album I think I was quite tired of myself writing sad love songs. But I did anyway and looking back on that now, I think it’s OK for things to be sad. Combining it with something that’s bright and strong and powerful is a way of finding your way out of the sadness.
– Robyn, BBC
What has Robyn said about the song's recording process?
I spent more time on that song than I did on any other piece of music in my whole life. You know when you have those experiences that are fundamentally changing, or spiritual, almost? I wanted to make sure the song explained that. I wanted it to be more than mood. I wanted it to be a physical feelin...
What inspired the song's lyrics?
When you go through big changes, when people die, or you break up with someone, whatever, it destabilizes you in this intense way. It wasn’t about coming back to a normal life. don’t think I’ll be able to go back to feeling the security that I felt before—that’s gone. I’m so much more aware of how...
What has Robyn said about the song's meaning?
In a track-by-track discussion of Honey with Pitchfork, Robyn said that
“Missing U” is really about the psychedelic, trippy thing that happens when people are not there anymore, and how clear they become all of a sudden, and how you deal with the fact that there’s this big space in your life. In th...
