Katie Melua-What I Miss About You

Written by Melua / McEwan

Missing the train every morning at 8:52,

Sipping coffee from the same cup as you.

The sharing of secrets

we thought no one else knew,

That’s what I miss about you.

The new way that love had made me see,

Your bashful grin when you asked

if I would like your key.

The knowing way you used to caress me,

That’s what I miss about you.

You stole in with your starry smile exciting me,

Driving with you in your new car, feeling free.

If it's true that love is blind,

then I was blind willingly,

You made me feel we had a future,

that could be and would be.

The way you said I’d be no one on my own,

Your habit of soaking yourself in over-priced cologne.

The way you turned the light out

when I knew you were home,

That’s what I don’t miss about you.

I bet you’re using your weary magic like it’s new,

Driving so fast with a new fool beside you.

Presumably believing she’s the last of the lucky few,

I wonder if she knows she’s being lied to like I do.

The way I only doubted myself when I was with you,

Like I was a fool for expecting something from life too.

Your skill of putting me down in-front of everyone we knew,

That’s what I don’t miss about you.
