Description
A plaintive country rock song describing a hopeless romance. Still yearning to be remembered for good or for ill, the title describes the only alternative left.
Lyrics
I' M GONNA MAKE YOU MISS ME Woke up this morning in your bed The lights were on but I saw red And you were gone long gone I look at myself straight in the mirror But I can’t see these cards no clearer I’ve played this hand for too long A song keeps running thru my mind The words ring true but they’re not mine There’s got to be a better way To tell you about this weight inside How hearts explode when they collide Why are the words so hard to say I know I’ve got to go away You don’t really understand It’s no longer in my hands I’m gonna make you miss me ‘cause that’s all that I can do I’m gonna make you miss me That’s really all that I can do Don’t cry that’s not all she wrote I’ve cried enough tears for us both I really tried to work this thru When we color these days in future paintings I hope that they don’t wind up tainted I’ve really loved this time with you You know I’ve got to go away I know this deal seems rotten Still I don’t want to be forgotten
