A Year Ago Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I miss you
Your name's still on my coffee cup
I miss you
The way you chose the films we watched
I miss you, babe
If only I had told you that before
Maybe I would never have to miss you
Singing by the kitchen sink
I miss you
Not knowing I was listening
I miss you, babe
You embody everything that I am not
And, now, I'm just somebody you forgot
[Chorus]
I wish it was a year ago
I wish that I could hold you close
Now I'm driving past your house, I know
The lights are on, you're not alone
I wonder if you're making eyes
I wonder if he loves you like
The way you said that only I could do
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you
[Verse 2]
I miss you
The way you left my car a mess
I miss you
The way you took up half the bed
That empty space
You remind me of the things that I am not
And, now, I'm just somebody you forgot
I miss you
Your name's still on my coffee cup
I miss you
The way you chose the films we watched
I miss you, babe
If only I had told you that before
Maybe I would never have to miss you
Singing by the kitchen sink
I miss you
Not knowing I was listening
I miss you, babe
You embody everything that I am not
And, now, I'm just somebody you forgot
[Chorus]
I wish it was a year ago
I wish that I could hold you close
Now I'm driving past your house, I know
The lights are on, you're not alone
I wonder if you're making eyes
I wonder if he loves you like
The way you said that only I could do
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you
[Verse 2]
I miss you
The way you left my car a mess
I miss you
The way you took up half the bed
That empty space
You remind me of the things that I am not
And, now, I'm just somebody you forgot
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope you're well
Oh, and I can't help myself
Oh-oh, no
[Chorus]
I wish it was a year ago
I wish that I could hold you close
Now I'm driving past your house, I know
The lights are on, you're not alone
I wonder if you're making eyes
I wonder if he loves you like
The way you said that only I could do
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you, oh-ohh
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you, oh, I-I-I-I
[Outro]
I wish it was a year ago
I wish that I could hold you close
The way you said that only I could do
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you
I hope you're well
Oh, and I can't help myself
Oh-oh, no
[Chorus]
I wish it was a year ago
I wish that I could hold you close
Now I'm driving past your house, I know
The lights are on, you're not alone
I wonder if you're making eyes
I wonder if he loves you like
The way you said that only I could do
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you, oh-ohh
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you, oh, I-I-I-I
[Outro]
I wish it was a year ago
I wish that I could hold you close
The way you said that only I could do
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you

What did James Arthur say about "A Year Ago"?
Genius Answer
“A Year Ago” is a song that taps into the feeling of heartbreak… you’re a year on, still wishing you could be back in a moment when the world felt right.
— James Arthur via Instagram
I really felt this one deep down. There’s nothing more heart-wrenching than that feeling of, I thought you couldn’t love anybody more than me, and here I am having to look at you moving on. I’m singing about some really authentic stuff that I’d actually felt before.
