You moved on I watched you go
That's fine with me but you should know
I miss you when I'm up alone
I still have your number in my phone
Sometimes I get lost in what used to be
Not the only one but it's hard to see
Whether or not you wanted me
Whether or not our love was free
If it's right that you make it hard to breathe
If you purposely haunt my daydreams
I don't understand how you could pretend
I thought you were into me up 'til the end
It always aches when I catch your eyes
You caught my sore heart by surprise
You held my hand during gentle nights
And I fell for you from dangerous heights
We didn't argue we didn't fight
Seemed to me everything was right
To be honest I've got some scars inside
I thought with you I didn't have to hide
I misread your promises, misread your pride
You didn't budge when I started to cry
I see you with her and my stomach drops
Do you have the same arguments, have the same talks?
I keep my head down now when I walk
Try not to hesitate, try not to stop
Hard to be invisible and noticed as well
You put me through heaven I know all about hell
You say not to tell them there's nothing to tell
The one that got away but I don't wanna chase
Just a flower for Romeo, a rose for his vase
Not exactly tragic but can't be erased
If anything I'll admit I'm still ashamed
I thought you were different and I was naΓ―ve
Because my head spun with you and I couldn't breath
There was something so fragile about calling you mine
I remember rehearsing "it'll be fine"
