By the time you hear this
I'm sure that I'll be better
Mmmmm
And by the time you hear this
I'm sure that I would never
Mmmmm
Say why I'm about to
Since I'm not around you
I guess that I'll speak my mind
Oh darling, no, I can't lie
Don't wanna say I miss you but I do
Don't wanna say I miss you but it's true
'Cause God, it's been so long
And I know you moved on
Don't wanna say I miss you but I do
Don't wanna say I miss you but it's true
'Cause God, it's been too long
And I know you're long gone
By the time you hear this
I'm sure I'll find a new love
Mmmmm
Scarlet lips, white sundress
Just like the one that you wore
Mmmmm
When we met in springtime
And your hazel-green eyes
Were telling me, "I'm all yours"
And I know we ran our course, so
Don't wanna say I miss you but I do
Don't wanna say I miss you but it's true
'Cause God, it's been so long
And I know you moved on
Don't wanna say I miss you but I do
Don't wanna say I miss you but it's true
'Cause God, it's been too long
And I know you're long gone
And the heart wants
What the heart wants
But the oldest wounds are the hard ones
And I promise
I'll be alright
But a boy gets lonely sometimes
And I could fight
But what's the use
Don't wanna say I miss you but I do
Don't wanna say I miss you but it's true
'Cause God, it's been so long
And I know you moved on
Don't wanna say I miss you but I do
Don't wanna say I miss you but it's true
'Cause God, it's been too long
And I know you're long gone
