I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooh

Nah nah la la la nah nah

I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't

Ooh
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooh

I had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by

Now your gone, now your gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now your gone, now your gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere your not coming back

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same no
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won't be the same ooh

Nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah
I miss you

    My Interpretation:This song reminds me of the day my great-grandma passed away. She had been ill for over 11 weeks. Since she died everything has been different and has completely changed which is difficult. I miss her lots and i would do anything to get her back. Miss and love you grandma Flag deexxon November 14, 2012   Link

    General Comment:I know no one is going to read this. But whatever.
    Tonight I'm missing my friend so much. Maybe me thinking of him this much is his way of letting me know he's okay. February 24th seems like such a long time ago. I miss him so much. He didn't get to experience things that so many people take for granted. His senior prom. Graduating highschool. And he will never be able to walk a lucky lady down the aisle. Chris, I miss you so much. This song says everything that I cannot say. I love you. And I miss you.

    General Comment:I heard this song when the cd first came out and thought it was a good song even though it was sad, pretty much forgot about it until earlier this year my husband lost our first child and this song popped up on my ipod in car as we were driving to the hospital for my D&C to remove the baby. This song touched me in so many ways, not every part fits but every time I hear it I think about our child.

    Memory:Last night I was listening to a bunch of my old CDs. When I came across Under My Skin, I put it in on and started listening to the songs. There were a lot I had forgotten about. When this song came on, I started listening to the lyrics. They brought memories back from when my great grandmother, my nan and a very close friends were all alive. Thinking about all the great times, I broke down crying because I missed them so much at that moment.
    I guess what I'm saying is that the lryics of a song can mean so much more when you stop and listen to them, try to connect them to your life. You should never take things for granted no matter what they are. Things can change so quickly and you can go back to fix them. Life is like this. And life goes on.
