Story Behind The Song
New York City singer/songwriter Sandra Grace originally wrote and performed this song on acoustic guitar, but when she met Adam Kendall at an electronica show he agreed to arrange and produce this haunting electronic version.
Song Description
Summed up in final words of chorus: "I'll miss you in my life every day, intimately." Haunting, heartbreaking breakup tune with very exposed vocals initially and then a full electronic buildup. Evokes Dido, late Madonna (as on Ray of Light).

Lyrics
INTIMATELY (by Sandra Grace Susino)
You went for what is fun and new
Not the comfort of my holding you
And I still wonder if we're meant to be, yeah
But I've been hit so hard by a slap of reality
I know I'm late in saying I wanted your one heart
Though I gave all of myself I've got no one in my arms
What I need to do is live with honesty
I'll miss you in my life every day, intimately
'Cause I am not content to be
By you two playing happily, without me
You say I love you but I know
It's time to set you free, I must get up, I must get up and go
Get up and go, get up and go
'Cause I know I'm late in saying I wanted your one heart
Though I gave all of myself I've got no one, no one in my arms
What I need to do is live with honesty
I'll miss you in my life every day, intimately
