I see you’re happy, I don’t feel a thing
Sure enough that girl will be your everything
I remember good times were had
Twenty-seven seems so young when looking back
All your baggage on the floor,
Trippin’ over meant that we were nothing more
Couldn’t settle with one foot out the door
You’re not the one who got away
This is what is meant to be and you were never a mistake
This December, you read my mind
Tried to sort through pieces of me you defined
Now I’m certain it wasn’t you
I had to go through all these things that we went through
Now I’m broken with nothing left to do
You’re not the one who got away
This is what is meant to be and you were never a mistake
It feels like time has never passed
Hate to be rejected, hate to expect
Anyone out there to understand
My need to express and to be holding your hand
This is my cry and this is my truth
I never meant to be hurtful to you
Always the one I needed to shake
But I knew I wouldn’t be the one saying your name
We’ve moved on and forgot the lies
Forgot the screams and silly cries that you despise
Always the one while I’m awake
You’re just the one who I needed to break
You’re not the one who got away
Nothing is forever and that’s ok
You’re not the one who got away
This is what is meant to be and you were never a mistake
