Things That I Miss

I miss your teeth and your smile

I haven't seen them in a while

Remember when you stole that

Peace necklace from me at the store?

I miss your mom

And your dad

I miss your roommate and your cats

I've never had a kind of love like that before

And when you kissed my head

And left me in your bed to go to work

I remember feeling like

I could live right here for years

I had about fifty cents I couldn't pay your rent

But I loved you and that's all it meant to me

And when you left I was in tears

But I have a lover and I have a best friend

I'm doing well and I hope you listen to this

You'll always be my first kiss

But I have a life now and I've learned my lesson

I'm growing up and doing big things for me

You'll always be on my list

Of all the good things that I miss

You're all the good things that I miss

I miss your hair, your nose

I miss the smell of your clothes

Remember when you took me to Niagara Falls

And we took photos all night long?

I can't believe I'm the one you chose

I really miss being at your shows

You know, we never got to perform our song

And when you looked me in the eyes I froze

It took me by surprise I suppose

That the guilt will eat me alive some day

Being so open you left me so closed

And you saw me at one of my all-time lows

And you don't have to apologize for the hole you left in me

'Cause I have a lover and I have a best friend

I'm doing well, and I hope you listen to this

You'll always be my first kiss

But I have a life now and I've learned my lesson

I'm growing up and doing big things for me

You'll always be on my list

Of all the good things that I miss

You're all the good things that I miss
