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