Alicia has explained for FLOOD Magazine that this song, as many others on this album, is about Mezzi, her dog that passed away, with whom “she had a connection” like no other.
[Verse 1]
I've been looking for you everywhere
Trying to find you in places I would never think to see
And it's unfortunate that
Sometimes, our humanity diminishes the beauty
Oftentimes, the softness in your gaze brought me to the next day, and I
Couldn't be more proud of you even if you begged me to

We hide how we cry (Missing you now)
Oh, what a life (Missing you now)
Oh, what a life

We hide how we cry (Missing you now)
Oh, what a life (Missing you now)
Oh, what a life
[Bridge]

[Instrumental Break]
Missing you now
Missing you now
[Chorus]
I never knew why (Missing you now)
We hide how we cry (Missing you now)
Oh, what a life (Missing you now)
Oh, what a life
