Miss Me More

Kelsea Ballerini

I retired my red lipstick ’cause you said you didn’t like it

I didn’t wear my high heel shoes

’Cause I couldn’t be taller than you

I didn’t wanna lose my friends

But now it’s hard to even find them

It’s what you wanted, ain’t it?

It’s what you wanted

I thought I’d miss you (when it ended)

I thought it hurt me (but it didn’t)

I thought I’d miss you

I thought I’d miss you

But I miss me more

I miss my own beat, to my own snare drum

I miss me more

Miss my own sheets in the bed I made up

I forgot I had dreams, I forgot I had wings

Forgot who I was before I ever kissed you

Yeah, I thought I’d miss you

But I miss me more (I miss me more)

I put on my old records that I hid in the back of the closet

And I turn them up to ten

And then I played them all again

I found my independence

Can’t believe I ever lost it

What you wanted, ain’t it?

It’s what you wanted

I thought I’d miss you (when it ended)

I thought it hurt me (but it didn’t)

I thought I’d miss you

Yeah, I thought I’d miss you

But I miss me more

I miss my own beat, to my own snare drum

(I miss me more)

Miss my own sheets in the bed I made up

I forgot I had dreams, I forgot I had wings

Forgot who I was before I ever kissed you

Yeah, I thought I’d miss you

But I miss me more ...

Review

It’s an energetic redemption anthem about a woman regaining her independence after breaking free from a controlling and toxic relationship. She runs through the list of things she was forced to change about herself to please him and realizes after ditching him that she would rather be herself than be someone she’s not. It’s an inspirational and catchy track.
