Things That I Miss

I miss your teeth and your smile
I haven't seen them in a while
Remember when you stole that
Peace necklace from me at the store?

I miss your mom
And your dad
I miss your roommate and your cats
I've never had a kind of love like that before

And when you kissed my head
And left me in your bed to go to work
I remember feeling like
I could live right here for years
I had about fifty cents I couldn't pay your rent
But I loved you and that's all it meant to me
And when you left I was in tears

But I have a lover and I have a best friend
I'm doing well and I hope you listen to this
You'll always be my first kiss
But I have a life now and I've learned my lesson

I'm growing up and doing big things for me
You'll always be on my list
Of all the good things that I miss
You're all the good things that I miss

I miss your hair, your nose
I miss the smell of your clothes
Remember when you took me to Niagara Falls
And we took photos all night long?
I can't believe I'm the one you chose
I really miss being at your shows
You know, we never got to perform our song

And when you looked me in the eyes I froze
It took me by surprise I suppose
That the guilt will eat me alive some day
Being so open you left me so closed
And you saw me at one of my all-time lows
And you don't have to apologize for the hole you left in me

'Cause I have a lover and I have a best friend
I'm doing well, and I hope you listen to this
You'll always be my first kiss
But I have a life now and I've learned my lesson

I'm growing up and doing big things for me
You'll always be on my list
Of all the good things that I miss
You're all the good things that I miss
