"I Don't Miss You Now" is a song by Colin Hay, an Australian singer-songwriter. The song is about a past relationship that has ended and the singer's journey to move on from it. At the beginning of the song, the singer reflects on how he used to be completely devoted to his former partner (Hey now baby, You never left me alone yeah, You used to own me, I was wasting my life away). However, as time has passed, the singer has realized that he doesn't need this person to feel happy and fulfilled anymore (Hey but lately, You're no longer the only, I must have been crazy, There's no prize for the lonely). The chorus repeats the phrase "I don't miss you now" four times, emphasizing the singer's resolution to move on. He recognizes that the relationship was important to him at one time (Well I can tell you, I couldn’t wait to get home yeah, You never ignored me, You’d always listen to what I’d say), but he is now at peace with the fact that it has ended (I cried when I lost you, But tears are a small price to pay). Overall, "I Don't Miss You Now" is a song about letting go of the past and embracing the present. It is a reminder that it is possible to move on from heartbreak and find happiness in new things.
