I wrote Wish You Missed Me More after a heartbreaking phone call with my (now-ex) girlfriend whilst we were stuck in quarantine 150 miles apart. To cope with the pain of missing her, I flooded my days with constant work. I'll never forget the moment she cried, "It’s all good saying that you love me, I just Wish You Missed Me More..."

Wish You Missed Me More

When I was 18, I fell head over heels in love with a girl called Alice. A dreamy, blonde, musician who was everything I could’ve asked for in a girlfriend (and more). Afraid of coming across too sensitive, I buried my emotions and never told her how I felt. After weeks of 'playing it cool', I found out she decided to give things another go with her ex. I wrote Never Mine To Lose after the heartbreaking realisation that the pain of losing someone still exists, even if they were never yours in the first place.

Verse 1
I’ve been on this phone for hours
Just can't get enough
Tryna catch a glimpse of what it's like
To feel your love
Ever since I lost you
I’ve been living in regret
Cos he's your everything
I’m just the words I never said

Pre Chorus 
I was biting on my tongue
I kept you in the dark 
I’ll admit that i was wrong 
I wish i opened up

Chorus
Now I’m waking up just a little older 
A first heart breaks like no one told ya 
And I 
Wonder why
I thought that love would last forever 
Just two young hearts getting lost together 
Who knew?
This could hurt so bad 
You were Never Mine To Lose

Verse 2
I tried my best to hate ya but
It never seems to work 
My silence turned us into strangers 
That is why it hurts 

Pre Chorus
I was biting on my tongue
I kept you in the dark 
I’ll admit that i was wrong 
I wish i opened up

Chorus 
Now I’m waking up just a little older 
A first heart breaks like no one told ya 
And I 
Wonder why
I thought that love would last forever 
Just two young hearts getting lost together 
Who knew?
This could hurt so bad 
You were Never Mine To Lose

Post Chorus
You were never mine, never mine 
You were Never Mine To Lose 
You were never mine, never mine 
You were Never Mine To Lose 
You were never mine, never mine 
You were Never Mine To Lose 
You were never mine, never mine 

Final Chorus
Now you’re waking up head on his shoulder 
Lazy sundays on your sofa 
And i 
Wonder why...

All your friends swear he’s the best you’ve had 
Loved so much by your mum and dad
Who knew?
This could hurt so bad 
You were Never Mine To Lose 
Why does it hurt so bad 
You were Never Mine To Lose
