I Don’t Miss You

Empty Room by Phil Burns

I tell my friends that I no longer miss you
So why do they keep on asking if it’s true?
Why do they shake their heads and smile sadly
When I have so clearly gotten over you?

I don’t miss the walks we used to take together
Wandering through the park in sun or rain
I don’t miss the songs we always sang along to
I still listen to them over and over again

I don’t miss your fingers gently stroking my hair
I remember being without you once before
I don’t miss the way you always laughed at my jokes
I don’t think that I am funny any more

I don’t miss the places that we used to go to
I still hang around them every single day
I don’t miss the way you put your arms around me
Why does no one hear the words I say?

I don’t miss your kisses waking me each morning
Or the way your smile brightened up my life
I don’t miss the words you always used to whisper
When I remember them they cut me like a knife

I don’t miss you telling me you’ll always love me
Or all those promises you could not keep
I don’t miss the tears that I cannot stop crying
I don’t miss you at all when I’m asleep
