I love you
It’s obvious, but people can change
We got bruised
We left things undecided and now we’re two people
We’re standing in the city rain
But we’re brand new
We turn our backs and walk away
Even though we’re through
I’m always here for you
I know you feel it too
I’m telling you the truth
Some nights, I go back there
Right back where we used to love
Think I messed up somewhere
Don’t know what I keep running from
Don’t know what I keep running from
Don’t know why I keep running
Don’t know why I keep running
So far
I’m on the other side of the globe
With new friends
With someone else asleep in the sheets
But I got you, yeah
Locked up in a part of my brain
Forever, yeah
I can’t forget my memories, no
Even though we’re through
I’m always here for you
I know you feel it too
I’m telling you the truth
Some nights, I go back there
Right back where we used to love
Think I messed up somewhere
Don’t know what I keep running from
Don’t know what I keep running from
Don’t know why I keep running
Don’t know why I keep running
Sometimes, I miss you when I’m all alone
And even though we both moved on
Sometimes I play your favourite song
I play it on and on
And I, I miss you when I’m all alone
And even though we both moved on
Sometimes I play your favourite song
I play it on and on and on
Don’t know what I keep running from
(All I know, all I know)
Don’t know what I keep running from
(All I know, all I know)
Don’t know why I keep running (I miss you)
Don’t know what I keep running from
(I miss you, I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you, I miss you)
Don’t know what I keep running from
(I miss you, I miss you, I miss you)
Don’t know why I keep running
(I miss you, I miss you, I miss you)
Don’t know why I keep running
Longing in the Rain: The Heartfelt Confession
“Miss U” by Charli XCX plunges listeners into the bittersweet aftermath of a breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who have gone their separate ways, yet remain tethered by lingering emotions. Charli’s confessional tone reveals vulnerability, as she admits to missing her former lover despite new surroundings and relationships. The city rain imagery and late-night reflections underscore the pain of unresolved feelings. The repetition of “Don’t know what I keep running from” powerfully communicates her internal struggle, torn between moving on and holding onto memories. Ultimately, the song captures the universal experience of missing someone and the complicated journey towards closure.
