The song "Miss Me" by Eric Ethridge is about the aftermath of a breakup and the conflicting emotions that come with it. The protagonist acknowledges that it's late and they shouldn't be thinking about their ex-partner, but they can't help it. Two months have passed since the breakup, and it feels like an eternity without the person they used to be with. The protagonist decides to call their ex and hear their voice again, hoping it will numb the pain they're feeling. Despite claiming that they're doing fine and can put on a fake smile, they admit that everything has been wrong since the person left and that the days and nights don't feel the same. They assert that they don't need pity but express a desire to hear their ex acknowledge that they miss them. The protagonist struggles with memories of loneliness, which keep pulling them back into the past. While they don't want their ex to come back because they know it won't last, they still long for one last hurtful encounter or conversation. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist is trying to move on and be strong, but deep down, they are still emotionally attached to their ex. They yearn for some form of validation, even if fleeting, by hearing their ex admit that they miss them. The song conveys a bittersweet longing and highlights the complex emotions that arise when trying to heal from a broken relationship.
