You Used to Miss Me More (Capo 3 Demo)
A bittersweet song about the end of a brief love affair.
Alternative Acoustic
Basically I'm a single act operating out of a six cornered room somewhere in NJ.
Story behind the song
I wrote this song in about an hour on a Wechter Nashville. The inspiration for this was a relationship with an old friend that briefly turned romantic and somewhat serious before the friend suddenly decided to go back to being casual and closer to platonic while still acting flirtatious and sexual. The lyrics describe the frustration and confusion at all of the sudden, unexpected changes to the relationship brought about by the other person.
Lyrics
Verse 1
All I want is to find you again
The way you used to be crazy for me
All I need is to understand the changes
What changed in you
Chorus 1
Because now
You’re content to be alone
And now you’re just fine with casual
But how am I supposed to leave you all alone
When just a little while ago
You used to miss me more
Verse 2
You woke me up today just like you used to
Before this great big void of ours
And I, I don’t know what to think or say
Just that I’m crazy for ever thinking you’d be mine
Chorus 2
When I cared for you
And know you thought me charming
And I tried to hit the brakes
When you would run ahead
And I’m left sitting here long after
Wondering what happened in your heart
Because you used to miss me more
Bridge
And I know your heart has changed
And I know I’ll never quite be the same
After the experience of you
But it’s so hard to put these thoughts of you away
Even when I know you mean what you say
About not wanting anyone in your life
But I also think
Verse 3
Sometimes you still want to
Make a go of this thing between you and I
And sometimes you seem to forget
And dream of our future life
Chorus 3
But it’s all right if you want to hang with me
To pass some time
As long as
As long as you don’t mind
That now
I miss you more
