Why Don’t I Miss You? lyrics
by Bowling for Soup
[Verse 1]
Remember back at Ryder High
Wishing on stars in the Texas sky?
I got your name tattooed
Across my heart, how could we lose?
Back in black when we were hand in hand
Two young kids like Jack and Diane
Falling at the speed of light
And burning up never felt so right
[Chorus]
So why don't I miss you?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
After all the sh*t that we've been through
I can't feel a thing
Maybe I was too high
Maybe I just sobered up too soon
You're still on the dark side of the moon
And always on my mind
So why don't I miss you?
[Verse 2]
So many nights we drove around
King and queen of the whole damn town
Voted most likely to succeed
We were everybody's meant to be
Burned out plans to take over the world
Did I f*ck it up, or did we just get bored?
Of losing at the same old game
We had our 15 minutes of fame
We took it all the way
We can't say we didn't try
[Chorus]
So why don't I miss you?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
After all the sh*t that we've been through
I can't feel a thing
Maybe I was too high
Maybe I just sobered up too soon
And you're still on the dark side of the moon
And always on my mind
So why don't I miss you?
[Bridge]
Why don't I miss the way you laugh
At everything I say?
You mom's apple pie always blew me away
It's funny how I always write the same old song
I wonder if you ever sing along with me
Sing along with me
[Chorus]
So why don't I miss you?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
After all the sh*t that we've been through
I can't feel a thing
Maybe I was too high
Maybe I sobered up too soon
And you're still on the dark side of the moon
And you are always on my mind
So why don't I miss you?
[Outro]
(Burned out plans to take over the world)
(I got your name tattooed)
Why don't I miss you?
(Did I f*ck it up, or did we just get bored?)
(Across my heart, how could we lose?)
Why don't I miss you?
(So many nights we drove around)
(Losing at the same old game)
Why don't I miss you?
(King and queen of the whole damn town)
(We had our 15 minutes of fame)
I don't wanna miss you
