[Verse 1]
They speak of jobs and positions
Who's seeing who, who's settled down
They casually mention your name
The power in a word's insane
How it triggers everything to come tumbling down

[Pre-Chorus]
Into the pit of my stomach
Boulders and butterflies coexist
That chemical reaction shared by all romantics
Threatens to persist

[Chorus]
And this unanswered question
Lingers on to this later date
Can I resign to never knowing
If I was your one that got away?

[Verse 2]
The back and forth, the on and off
The "don't call anymore"
The leaving, the wishing I had stayed
A self-inflicted prison I won't escape
Like if I did the memories would decay

[Pre-Chorus]
And there'd be no more hours of dreaming
About what a life with you would have been
That chemical reaction shared by all romantics
Has some twisted need to exist

[Chorus]
And this unanswered question
Lingers on to this later date
Can I resign to never knowing
If I was your one that got away?

[Bridge]
Say you feel nothing when you see me
Say that where I walk, flowers have grown
Say that I rocked your world
Say that I was never your girl
Just give me something
Give me something I can put in stone
[Chorus]
And this unanswered question
Lingers on to this later date
Can I resign to never knowing
If I was your one that got away?
