Miss Missing You

Don't panic No, not yet I know I'm the one you want to forget Cue all the love to leave my heart It's time for me to fall apart

She's left him because she no longer wants him and she just wants to forget him entirely. He's telling himself not to panic, at least not yet. The shock hasn't set in yet, and when it does, he forces the love out of his heart, and begins to fall apart.

Now you're gone But I'll be okay Your hot whiskey eyes Have fanned the flame Maybe I'll burn a little brighter tonight Let the fire breathe me back to life

He's accepted the fact that she's gone, but he knows that he'll make it out alive. He'll be okay in time.

Baby, you were my picket fence I miss missing you now and then

When he says she was his picket fence, he means he envisioned a future for the two of them together; you know, nice little home with a nice little garden surrounded by a white picket fence. He wanted a happy life with her, but she's gone now and when he looks back on it, he remembers how much he used to miss her and although he no longer does, he misses missing her as much as he used to, because what they had was real to him and he misses dwelling on what could have been.

Sometimes before it gets better The darkness gets bigger The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger Oh We're fading fast I miss missing you now and then

This has to be my favorite verse. Because it's true, when you're just going through a breakup, everything seems bleak and you feel hopeless, but you need that darkness before you recover, because you need to feel this pain. If you don't, then it will never get better. You have to let yourself go through the heartbreak and suffering in order to get better, because the person you loved so much and were willing to "take a bullet for" is the one that shot you so to speak, and you have to accept that what you had is over, because they decided to pull the trigger. You just have to get through the dark days so that brighter days will come in the future.

Making eyes at this husk around my heart I see through you When we're sitting in the dark So give my your filth Make it rough Let me let me trash your love

He wants her to admit to what she's done. Perhaps she wronged him by cheating on him. He wants her to give him the cold hard truth and not spare his feelings so that he can let go of his love for her completely, hence the line "let me trash your love".

I will sing to you everyday If it will take away the pain Oh, and I've heard you got got it so bad 'Cause I'm the best you'll never have

She's come around again, and she wants him once more. He no longer wants her and shoves this in her face by telling her that he's the best and she should have realized that when they were together. The first two lines make me laugh because they're very sarcastic and he's basically saying well it's too bad that you want me now that I don't want you anymore, but I'll keep singing if it'll make you hurt less, though he really could care less now, because he doesn't miss her or want her the way he used to.
