about

Sometimes it's ok to just miss people. But you always have to move on and not be too nostalgic.
Sometimes they're the ones that got away, and sometimes they're the ones that needed to be let go of.

lyrics

There was a girl that I once knew
And she kinda looks like you
But I'm not saying that I miss her
From the corner of my eye I can see
What is a distant memory
When we said goodbye we were so sure

Hindsight makes you wish you were right
But instead, all you did was fight
About all the little things
You can't even remember

So then we went in our separate ways
And the minutes turned to days
And the years they passed like winter
I often wonder what became of you
Sometimes thought I caught a glimpse not true
By then, you were just a whisper

Are we the ones that got away
Hoping to find another day
But in the past, we will never find
Everything we are looking for
Is still behind another door
And knowing how to leave the past behind

There was a girl that I once knew
And she kinda looks like you
Yeah I'm saying that I miss her
From the corner of my eye I can see
What is a distant memory
When we said goodbye we were so sure
