(If) I Missed You

from Aiming At The Stars by John Greska

lyrics

So I was walking to the corner store
Didn’t want to get anything
Just wanted to clear my head
Just wanted to get out of bed
But I

Passed a younger student on their first day of class
They looked so hopeful and loving and full of life
They reminded me a lot of us
I couldn’t help but laugh

You probably don’t remember what you did to
Earn your place in the seventh circle of hell of my mind, well
Good for you,
Forgetting must be kind,
But

It’s here to stay with me,
Like a nightmare that I’ll never wake from
Like a breakup song there’s no escape song
I am drowning

Hold me close
Hold me tight
Block them all out and tell me it’s all right
Love me the most
All through the night
Together, forever--
Yeeah, that’s what I’d say if I

Missed you
Yeah if I missed you
But it’s not an issue
Don’t get me a tissue
There’s no tears to dry

No I don’t miss you
You are just pissed I asked you to leave
Don’t call me naive
Cause I didn’t grieve over you
It’s not my fault
I don’t miss
You

I was hoping just as much as you
That our story would go differently
That our love would be eternity
That I wouldn’t lose my sanity
But I

Placed too much face in the idea that
You were right about everybody hating me that
You could handle something just slightly more complicated
Than walking and talking at the same time
Or breathing

You probably never noticed all the times that I laid down
And cried and cried and cried cause you just
Prided yourself on keeping my tongue tied
While I would bide my time

Well I collected all those tears
And I put them in a jar the size of the ocean
And I taught myself how to swim
Cause I was drowning

Hold me close
Hold me tight
Block them all out and tell me it’s all right
Love me the most
All through the night
Together, forever--
Yeeah, that’s what I’d say if I

Missed you
Yeah if I missed you
But it’s not an issue
Don’t get me a tissue
There’s no tears to dry


No I don’t miss you
(Hold me close
Hold me tight)
You are just pissed I asked you to leave
(Block them all out and tell me it’s all right)
Don’t call me naive
Cause I didn’t grieve over you
Love me the most
All through the night
It’s not my fault
I don’t miss
Together, forever)
You


Yeeah, that’s what I’d say if I

Missed you
Yeah if I missed you
But it’s not an issue
Don’t get me a tissue
There’s no tears to dry


No I don’t miss you
(Hold me close
Hold me tight)
You are just pissed I asked you to leave
(Block them all out and tell me it’s all right)
Don’t call me naive
Cause I didn’t grieve over you
Love me the most
All through the night
It’s not my fault
I don’t miss
Together, forever)
You
