The Twangtown Paramours - 9. I Miss Who I Thought You Were (3:59)

I Miss Who I Thought You Were

You were the Mississippi princess
Who caught me in her curls
The one I knew from one kiss
Was gonna be my world
You were the rhythm of a slow dance
On sultry summer nights
You were the moon and the Memphis lights

Darlin’, I’ve missed who I thought you were
Since the day you became somebody else
Was it all just a lie, was I too blind to see
When I fell for the woman you seemed to be
I loved someone once, but stranger, you’re not her
Oh, darlin’ I miss who I thought you were

You are the sound of the indifference
I hear on the phone
You’re the echo of the silence
That leaves me all alone
You’re the tangles and the tirades
Runnin’ through the wire
And you’re the ashes of the fire

Darlin’, I’ve missed who I thought you were
Since the day you became somebody else
Was it all just a lie, was I too blind to see
When I fell for the woman you seemed to be
I loved someone once, but stranger, you’re not her
Oh, darlin’ I miss who I thought you were

You were the one whose love was steady as rain
You were the one whose heart could never change

Darlin’, I’ve missed who I thought you were
Since the day you became somebody else
Was it all just a lie, was I too blind to see
When I fell for the woman you seemed to be
I loved someone once, but stranger, you’re not her
Oh, darlin’ I’ve miss who I thought you were
