Unanswered Question

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
Into the pit of my stomach
Boulders and butterflies coexist
That chemical reaction shared by all romantics
Threatens to persist
And this unanswered question
Lingers on to this later date
Can I resign to never knowing
If I was your one that got away?
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
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
And this unanswered question
Lingers on to this later date
Can I resign to never knowing
If I was your one that got away?
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
And this unanswered question
Lingers on to this later date
Can I resign to never knowing
If I was your one that got away?
