âI Miss How We Used to Beâ
By Cheyenne hannigan
[Verse 1]â¨I miss how close we used to be,â¨And I know that's partially on me.â¨I'm sorry for the words Iâve thrown,â¨Years of pain I shouldâve never shown.
I miss when I was just a little girl,â¨Youâd hold me tight, you were my world.â¨Weâd head down to the garage late at night,â¨Singinâ songs while you sipped your Keystone Light.
[Chorus]â¨I miss you more than you'll ever know,â¨More with every other day I grow.â¨I miss your brown eyes, that deep laugh too,â¨I miss the way I belonged to you.â¨I miss being your girl, wild and free,â¨I miss how we used to be.â¨And even though Iâve caused you pain,â¨Iâd take it back, Iâd try again.â¨'Cause I love you more than youâll understand,â¨You're still my hero, still my dad.
[Verse 2]â¨I'm sorry for the things I said in rage,â¨The words I can't erase from the page.â¨I was hurt, I was young and confused,â¨But I never meant to hurt you too.
It hurts I canât see you like before,â¨No every-other-weekends, no open door.â¨I miss your arms around me tight,â¨Singing to the moon in the quiet night.
[Bridge]â¨I know life pulled us far apart,â¨But youâre still written on my heart.â¨I hope our bond can grow again,â¨Like back when I was three or five
Dancinâ in the sawdust, laughinâ loud,â¨Youâd lift me up â I felt so proud.â¨Tossinâ wood and singinâ low,â¨Down in that garage long ago.
[Chorus]â¨I miss you more than you'll ever know,â¨More than the summer sun can show.â¨I miss the sound of your old guitar,â¨I miss just knowinâ where you are.â¨I miss being your girl, young and wild,â¨With your warm voice callinâ me your child.â¨And even when I hide my tears,â¨I love you more with every year.â¨You're still my best friend, no pretend,â¨The reason I still try to mend.
[Outro]â¨I wish things were different â oh, I do.â¨But through it all, I still love you.â¨You're my daddy, always will be...â¨And I just miss how we used to be.
