Miss You Lyrics – Conan Gray

[Intro]
Ah
Is it wrong to now decide?
Ah

[Verse 1]
Now you know I’m a wicked man
I bit the hand that was feeding me
It’s snapping back like a rubber band
The fear of love is my tendency

[Pre-Chorus]
But I feel it (Feel it) believe it (Believe it)
I never meant to break your heart
But I lost it (I lost it) like a promise (A promise)
And left you dancing in the dark

[Chorus]
I don’t know why
I’ll be gone because you love me
I don’t know why
Is it wrong to now decide

[Post-Chorus]
I miss you? (Miss you)
I miss you? (Miss you)

[Verse 2]
Didn’t think you would understand
After all that I put you through
From my search for the promised land
I came back only wanting you (Ah)

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I feel it (Feel it) believe it (Believe it)
I never meant to break your heart
But I lost it (I lost it) like a promise (A promise)
And left you dancing in the dark

[Chorus]
I don’t know why
I’ll be gone because you love me
I don’t know why
Is it wrong to now decide
I don’t know why (I don’t know why)
I’ll be gone because you love me
I don’t know why (I don’t know why)
Is it wrong to now decide

[Post-Chorus]
I miss you? (Miss you)
I miss you? (Miss you)
I miss you?
