Let the mother-fucking beat build in this bitch
About that
I thought that things like this get better with time
But I still need you
Why is that?
You’re the only image in my mind
So I still see you around
I miss you, like everyday
Wanna be with you, but you’re away
Said I miss you, missing you insane
But if I got with you, could it feel the same?
The words don’t ever seem to come out right
But I still mean ’em
Why is that?
It hurts my pride to tell you how I feel
But I still need to
Why is that?
I miss you, like everyday
Wanna be with you, but you’re away
Said I miss you, missing you insane
But if I got with you, could it feel the same?
It don’t matter who you are
It is so simple
A feeling
But it’s everything
No matter who you love
It is so simple
A feeling
But it’s everything
I miss you, like everyday
Wanna be with you, but you’re away (But you’re away)
Said I miss you, missing you insane
But if I got with you, could it feel the same?
It don’t matter who you are
It is so simple
A feeling
But it’s everything
No matter who you love
It is so simple
A feeling
But it’s everything
Heartfelt Longing in Every Line
“I Miss You” by Beyoncé is a moving ballad that captures the ache and vulnerability of missing a loved one. The lyrics paint a picture of emotional turmoil, where time hasn’t eased the pain of separation. Beyoncé’s voice, paired with raw admissions like “I miss you, like everyday,” resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced longing. The repetition of “Why is that?” throughout the song highlights the confusion and helplessness that often comes with missing someone, making the song feel even more personal and relatable.
The Universal Truth of Love and Absence
The simplicity of the lyrics—”It is so simple, a feeling, but it’s everything”—reflects a universal truth: love and loss are emotions everyone faces, regardless of who they are or whom they love. This universality is what gives “I Miss You” its emotional weight, making it a timeless anthem for anyone grappling with distance or unrequited feelings.
