Analysis of I Still Miss You



Here I sit, I’m broken-hearted,

wish that we had never parted.

My smile has turned upside down

since you are no longer around.

I wonder why you had to leave.

Something I still cannot conceive.

I tried so hard to make things right.

You were always my shining light.

Someday, maybe, you’ll tell me why

you went and left me high and dry.

I thought our love would only grow,

and darling I want you to know.

I really miss you and all your charms.

But not that woman you caught in my arms.
