I Miss You

Beyonce · 4 [2011]

I thought that things like this get better with time

But I still need you, why is that?

You're the only image in my mind

So I still see you...around



I miss you, like everyday

Wanna be with you, but you're away

Said I miss you, missing you insane

But if I got with you, could it feel the same



Words don't ever seem to come up right

But I still mean them, why is that?

It hurts my pride to tell you how I feel

But I still need to, why is that?



I miss you, like everyday

Wanna be with you, but you're away

I said I miss you, missing you insane

But if I got with you, could it feel the same



It don't matter who you are

It's so simple, a feeling

But it's everything no matter who you love

It is so simple, a feeling

But it's everything



I miss you, like everyday

Wanna be with you, but you're away

I said I miss you, missing you insane

But if I got with you, could it feel the same



It don't matter who you are

It's so super, I feel it

But it's everything no matter who you love

It is so super, I feel it

But it's everything
