Mario Ranieri - Miss Me? lyrics

I know what you want
Oh sure, they may have tried to separate us
But what we have is too strong, it's too powerful
I mean, after all, we shared everything, you and I
I told you my deepest, darkest secrets
I showed you exactly what people are capable of
I shocked you with my honesty
But mostly I challenged you and made you think
And you trusted me, even though you knew you shouldn't

So we're not done, no matter what anyone says
And besides, I know what you want - you want me back
Of course, some believed everything
And have just been waiting with bated breath to hear me confess it all
They're just dying to have me declare that everything said is true
And that I got what I deserved
Wouldn't that be easy?
If it was all so simply
Only you and I know that it's never that simple
Not in politics and not in life
But you wouldn't believe the worst without evidence, would you?
You wouldn't rush to judgments without facts, would you?
Did you?
No, not you, you're smarter than that
Anyway, all this presumption made for such an unsatisfying ending
And to think it could've been such a memorable sendoff
If you and I have learned nothing else in these past few years
It's that in life and art, nothing should be off the table
We're not afraid, not of what we said and of what we did
And we're still not afraid
Because I can promise you this
If I didn't pay the price for the things we both know I did do
I'm certainly not going to pay the price for the things I didn't do

Oh, of course they're going to say I'm being disrespectful
Not playing by the rules
Like I ever played by anyone's rules before
I never did, and you loved it
Anyhow, despite all the poppycock, the animosity
The headlines, the impeachment without a trial, despite everything
Despite even my own death, I feel surprisingly good
And my confidence grows each day
That soon enough you will know the full truth

Oh, wait a minute
Now that I think of it
You never actually saw me die, did you?
Conclusions can be so deceiving

Miss me? [7x]
