[Verse 1]
Try to find a way to talk about it
I’m also in the mind to just let it go
How to reach out my mind if I can’t think straight
With the goodness so gone I feel to isolate
You called me baby, I called you one too
Until you spoke to me with another voice
You sent in spiders to fight for you
I was so disappointed I didn’t know what to do
[Chorus]
I wish I didn’t miss you
I wish I didn’t miss you
I wish I didn’t miss you
I wish I didn’t miss you
[Verse 2]

Because how could I live if you’re still alive?
[Chorus]
I wish I didn’t miss you
I wish I didn’t miss you
I wish I didn’t miss you
I wish I didn’t miss you
[Outro]
I wish I didn’t miss you
I wish I didn’t miss you
I wish I didn’t miss you
I wish I didn’t miss you
