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 the 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 

[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 

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 can't escape 
like if i did the memories would decay 

and there'd be no more hours of dreaming 
bout what a life with you would have been 
that chemical reaction shared by all romantics 
has some twisted need to exist 

[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 somethin' 
give me somethin' i can put in stone 

[chorus]
