I Miss Me
Not about wanting someone back—about wanting back the person you were before them.
Play I Miss Me without leaving the story.
Behind the song
The story comes first.
I Miss Me tells the story of someone who entered the wrong relationship and did not realize how completely it was changing them. Only after stepping away do they recognize that they are not missing the other person—they are missing the person they used to be.

Official lyrics
I Miss Me
Words supplied by ObeyTheAlgorithmCold Open · Full Beat
I don't miss you, I miss me, Before your name was everything. Before I learned to lose my sleep, Trying to be what you needed me to be. I don't want you back, believe me, I just want the man I used to be. I don't miss you... I miss me.
Verse 1
I used to sing too loud in the car, Stay out late and laugh too hard, Never checked my phone all night, Never wondered if I got it right. Then somewhere between me and you, I forgot the things I used to do, Started living just to keep the peace, Till I barely recognized me.
Pre-Chorus
Now every mile away from us Feels a little more like waking up.
Chorus
I don't miss you, I miss me, Before your name was everything. Before I learned to lose my sleep, Trying to be what you needed me to be. I don't want you back, believe me, I just want the man I used to be. I don't miss you... I miss me.
Verse 2
Got my old friends calling again, Windows down, nowhere to end, Same old songs turned way up loud, Feels damn good to know me now. I thought losing you would break my heart, Turns out leaving was the hardest part, Funny how the minute I let go, I found the guy I used to know.
Pre-Chorus
And every mile away from us Feels a little more like waking up.
Bridge · Half Time
Keep the pictures, keep the past, Keep the reasons we didn't last. If you ever wonder what I need, It ain't you coming back to me.
Final Chorus · Biggest
I don't miss you, I miss me, Before your name was everything. Before I learned to lose my sleep, Trying to be what you needed me to be. I don't want you back, believe me, I found the man I used to be. I don't miss you, I don't miss us... I miss me.
