about

After a whirlwind first year that saw the duo release their debut album, 5 singles, and complete a 23 date tour, Broadtree continues their momentum with their strongest single yet. Combining country influence with their signature theatrical flair, “You Only Miss Me Cause I’m Gone” promises to be their catchiest release so far, making a strong statement about their newfound place in the Canadian country music landscape.

“You Only Miss Me Cause I’m Gone” is an upbeat, post-relationship anthem about empowerment, knowing your worth, and standing up for yourself - for anyone who’s had someone do them wrong! Jokingly reflecting on the ups and downs and the annoyance of one post-breakup plea after another, this song is a fresh, fun, joy-fuelled summer jam.

lyrics

It’s Friday night, got a bottle of red
A little Keith Urban to put me to bed
Pizza on the way with my sweats on
I’m finally free now that you’re gone
But it’s Friday night the clock strikes eight
My phone rings and I take the bait
You say “Baby I’m sorry, are you coming back?”
I say “Excuse me, let me play this back”

You only miss me cause I’m gone
The moment I put those glass slippers back on
I know Prince Charming disappears
So I’ll brush off all the years
We wasted trying to make it work
Cause deep down you’re still a jerk
You only miss me cause I’m gone

It’s Friday night, you’re out with the boys
Spent all our money on whiskey and noise
Mouthed off again to the wrong guy
Now I’m posting your bail and I don’t know why
You always knew the right words to say
Anytime I’d try to walk away
You’d say “Baby, don’t go I promise I’ll change”
Now I know better, won’t play that game

You only miss me cause I’m gone
The moment I put those glass slippers back on
I know Prince Charming disappears
So I’ll brush off all the years
We wasted trying to make it work
Cause deep down you’re still a jerk
You only miss me cause I’m gone

It’s Friday night, we’re out for a drive
Funny how the stars made us feel alive
You put your arm around me on our way back
Say “Baby you’re pretty, and I love that rack!”
But it’s Friday night, you call again
Use the same old script you did back then
You say “Baby I’m sorry, I’m down on my luck”
Well Honey, I just don’t give a...

You only miss me cause I’m gone
The moment I put those glass slippers back on
I know Prince Charming disappears
So I’ll brush off all the years
We wasted trying to make it work
Cause deep down you’re still a jerk
You only miss me cause I’m gone

You only miss me cause I’m gone
I know Prince Charming disappears
So I’ll brush off all the years
We wasted trying to make it work
Cause deep down you’re still a jerk
You only miss me cause I’m gone
