Unanswered Question - Amel Larrieux

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?
