Lyrics
Well I'm missing us, but not missing you
Expressing a sense of longing for the past, but not necessarily for the person.
I know you remember what I did that made you say, "I love you"
Recalling a specific action or moment that evoked the expression of love from the other person.
We still think about each other, but not the way we used to
Acknowledging a shift in the nature of thoughts about each other, moving away from the past intimacy.
And I still have anxieties that were spawned when I met you
Admitting the presence of lingering anxieties stemming from the past relationship.
And I don't think I love you
Expressing doubt about the current existence of love for the person in the same way as before.
At least not the way I used to
Affirming that the love felt in the past has changed or diminished.
And I don't think I need you
Indicating a reduced sense of dependency or necessity for the person.
At least not the way I want to
Highlighting a shift in personal desires and needs, suggesting decreased dependence.
Well I remember us, and I remember you
Recalling memories of the relationship and the person.
I wish you missed what I did that made you say, "I love you"
Expressing a desire for the other person to miss a specific action that led to the expression of love.
I still think of my bed and the way I kissed you
Reflecting on memories of physical intimacy, particularly in bed.
And I still think of the sheets on my skin the way I want to
Reminiscing about the sensory experience of being in bed with the person.
And I don't think I love you
Reiterating doubts about the current state of love for the person compared to the past.
At least not the way I used to
Reaffirming the changed or diminished nature of love from the past.
And I don't think I need you
Reiterating a reduced sense of need or dependency on the person.
At least not the way I want to
Emphasizing a shift in personal desires and needs, suggesting decreased dependency.
And I don't think I love you
Reiterating doubts about the current state of love for the person compared to the past.
At least not the way I used to
Affirming that the love felt in the past has changed or diminished.
And I don't think I need you
Reiterating a reduced sense of need or dependency on the person.
At least not the way I want to
Emphasizing a shift in personal desires and needs, suggesting decreased dependency.
