Missing the train every morning at 8: 52, 00:14

Sipping coffee from the same cup as you. 00:20

The sharing of secrets we thought no one else knew, 00:27

That's what I miss about you. 00:34

The new way that love had made me see, 00:48

Your bashful grin when you asked if I would like your key. 00:54

The knowing way you used to caress me, 01:01

That's what I miss about you. 01:08

01:19

You stole in with your starry smile exciting me, 01:22

Driving with you in your new car, feeling free. 01:28

If it's true that love is blind, then I was blind willingly, 01:35

You made me feel we had a future, that could be and would be. 01:42

The way you said I'd be no one on my own, 01:49

Your habit of soaking yourself in over-priced cologne. 01:56

The way you turned the light out when I knew you were home, 02:03

That's what I don't miss about you. 02:10

02:21

I bet you're using your weary magic like it's new, 02:23

Driving so fast with a new fool beside you. 02:30

Presumably believing she's the last of the lucky few, 02:37

I wonder if she knows she's being lied to like I do. 02:44

The way I only doubted myself when I was with you, 02:51

Like I was a fool for expecting something from life too. 02:58

Your skill of putting me down in-front of everyone we knew, 03:04

03:12

That's what I don't miss about you 03:17

Lyrics:

[English]

Missing the train every morning at 8: 52,

Sipping coffee from the same cup as you.

The sharing of secrets we thought no one else knew,

That's what I miss about you.

The new way that love had made me see,

Your bashful grin when you asked if I would like your key.

The knowing way you used to caress me,

That's what I miss about you.

...

You stole in with your starry smile exciting me,

Driving with you in your new car, feeling free.

If it's true that love is blind, then I was blind willingly,

You made me feel we had a future, that could be and would be.

The way you said I'd be no one on my own,

Your habit of soaking yourself in over-priced cologne.

The way you turned the light out when I knew you were home,

That's what I don't miss about you.

...

I bet you're using your weary magic like it's new,

Driving so fast with a new fool beside you.

Presumably believing she's the last of the lucky few,

I wonder if she knows she's being lied to like I do.

The way I only doubted myself when I was with you,

Like I was a fool for expecting something from life too.

Your skill of putting me down in-front of everyone we knew,

...

That's what I don't miss about you
