"I Miss Me" is about a man who watches himself slowly disappear behind denial, anger, and emotional numbness, and longs to become the person he used to be before he got lost inside himself. My wife listened to this one and spontaneously said that this song sounds like an ESC song. Many of my American friends won’t know what she’s talking about. That’s ok. It’s a positive comment. I MISS MEhttps://soundclick.com/song/15277133[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] I tell them I’m just tired, nothing really serious Just work and life and stress, nothing mysterious But I feel myself slipping in ways I can’t explain Like I’m standing in the sunshine, still feeling rain [Verse] I show up when I have to, I do what I can Play the part of a father, the part of a man But inside there’s a silence I don’t know how to name And I keep acting normal like it all feels the same [Pre-chorus] They say “you don’t look like you’re okay” I laugh it off and turn away They reach for me, I pull back slow I don’t let anyone really know [Chorus] I miss me The way I used to be Before I got lost Inside of me I’m still here But I can’t break free I miss me I miss me [Break] [Verse] I get angry too quickly, then I shut it down Walk like a stranger in my own hometown And the people that love me, I can see in their eyes They’re reaching for someone I keep saying is fine [Pre-chorus] They say “just talk, we’re here for you” But I change the subject like I always do The door is open, I see the way But I don’t step through, I walk away [Chorus] I miss me The way I used to be Before I got lost Inside of me I’m still here But I can’t break free I miss me I miss me [Bridge] If I could meet him face to face I don’t know what I would say Would I ask him to come back home Or say I pushed him away [Interlude] [Final chorus] I miss me The way I used to be Before I got lost Inside of me If I reach out Don’t let me leave I miss me I miss me [Outro] Don’t let me leave I miss me I miss me

I think your first verse is really, really, good.
It sounds like a song you'd hear on pop radio.
I think the following verses are weaker in comparison. And in my view your making it about everybody else. What they see, when the song us how you feel.
If it were mine, I'd build it around the first Verse. Go into detail about how your dufferent now, its kinda vague.
And I think your repeating same kinda stuff as it goes on just to legthen it.
Each verse should introduce something new.
I have a similar song called..In search of the me.
Good start..
