Missin' You

The final chorus and bridge reiterate the sorrow and the desperate hope that the ex-partner might hear the song and understand the depth of their regret. 'Missin' You' is a heartfelt ballad that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of lost love and the longing for a second chance.
