I Miss You
Pop rock track in E major at 124 BPM. The arrangement features a bright acoustic guitar strumming eighth-note patterns and a clean electric guitar playing palm-muted arpeggios in the verses. The chorus introduces a thick, overdriven electric guitar playing power chords and a driving drum kit with a prominent snare on 2 and 4. A melodic synth lead with a sawtooth wave and light portamento doubles the vocal melody in the bridge. The bass guitar follows the kick drum with a consistent eighth-note pulse. Male tenor vocals utilize a mix of chest voice and falsetto during the chorus. Production includes gated reverb on the snare and a subtle delay on the lead vocals.

Lyrics
Verse 1
It's been a while since I heard your name
But somehow everything still feels the same
Your picture's gone, your number too
But every little thing reminds me of you
I keep replaying all the words I never said
Now they're just echoes spinning in my head
I thought that time would help me move on
But some nights you're still where my heart belongs
Pre-Chorus
And I know you're probably doing fine
Living your life while I'm stuck rewinding mine
Chorus
I miss you
I wish I could tell you that I miss you
Trying to forget you but I failed to
Wondering what else that I can do
Yeah, I miss you
If only I had told you that before
Maybe I would never miss you
Maybe you'd still be walking through my door
Verse 2
I see your shadow in crowded streets
Hear your voice in every melody
I tell myself that I'm okay
Then something small just takes me back again
And everybody says I'll heal with time
But they don't know what's running through my mind
How do I let go of someone who
Still feels like home when I'm missing you?
Pre-Chorus
And I know you're probably doing fine
Living your life while I'm stuck rewinding mine
Chorus
I miss you
I wish I could tell you that I miss you
Trying to forget you but I failed to
Wondering what else that I can do
Yeah, I miss you
If only I had told you that before
Maybe I would never miss you
Maybe you'd still be walking through my door
Bridge
Now every "what if" keeps me awake
Thinking of all the chances I let fade
I'd trade every tomorrow just to hear you say
You missed me too, and you wanted me to stay
Final Chorus
I miss you
I wish I could tell you that I miss you
Trying to forget you but I failed to
Wondering what else that I can do
Yeah, I miss you
If only I had told you that before
Maybe I would never miss you
Maybe you'd still be walking through my door
Outro
Yeah, I miss you
And that's the hardest truth I've ever known
Maybe if I'd said it when I should've
I wouldn't be missing you alone.
Yeah, I miss you...
