How Do I Feel

Hoku · Another Dumb Blonde [2000]

I was free

when we met.

You were eating a burrito.

With a girl.

Some brunette.

At El Teroscos.

Then you smiled.

Like you knew.

That someday we'd be together.

And together we were for a while!



chorus

Oh!

How do I feel?

Ever since I walked away from you.

I missed you for real.

Every day of my life.

How do I feel?

Now that it's over.

For the thing that I miss the most,

Is missin' you.



I was lost.

For a while.

Every place brought back a memory

Of a kiss,

Or a smile,

That you gave me.

Now it's changed.

Well I guess.

More and more.

I miss you less and less.

Sometimes it's hard to let go!



chorus

Oh!

How do I feel?

Ever since I walked away from you.

I missed you for real.

Every day of my life.

How do I feel?

Now that it's over.

For the thing that I miss the most.

Is missin' you.



Sometimes,

you get trapped in the time of your life.

But you know it

Gets a little easier

Over time.



How do I feel?

Now that it's over.

For the thing that I miss the most,



I miss the moody,

walks in the rain.



I miss the poetry,

I miss the days.



I miss the sad songs,

I used to play.



Chorus



For the thing that I miss the most,

Is missin' you.(thing that I miss the most.
