McRae said of the song on Instagram: “I wrote this song at 19 for a person I met at 16 then rewrote it at 23 for a person I met at 19 and now I’m 26 and it’s beautiful how you can just keep finding beauty and meaning in the love you lose long after you stop missing the vessel it came in”
[Verse 1]
I miss the way we used to talk
I miss the things you used to know about me
I miss being wanted the way only you can do
But I don't miss you
[Verse 2]
We met when I was just nineteen
And now I'm well past twenty-three
I miss who I was back when I knew all I thought I knew
But I don't miss you
[Chorus]
There will always be a gap between
Who I loved and who you really used to be
I will always save a space, it's true
For the man I thought you were
But I can't, I don't, I won't, no, I don't miss you
[Verse 3]
I miss your rough and calloused hands
The way that you spoke of your best-laid plans
I miss how sure you were of shots I swore you blew
But I don't miss you
[Chorus]
Therе will always be a gap between
Who I loved and who you rеally used to be
I will always save a space, it's true
For the man I thought you were
But I can't, I don't, I won't, no, I don't miss you
[Bridge]
I miss the heart that felt those things
The older I get, the less it stings
I know I'm too young, and I've not yet paid my pain in dues
I know you lost me, but I didn't lose you
But you're not much to lose
[Chorus]
There will always be a gap between
Who I loved and who you really used to be
I will always save a space, it's true
For the man I thought you were
But I can't, I don't, I won't, no, I don't miss you
[Outro]
No, I don't miss you
No, I don't miss you
I don't miss you
I don't miss you
I don't miss you
