What Never Was

[Verse 1]
I miss what never was
Lines we never crossed
Stories we almost told
And I wonder
Who's making you smile
Do you still laugh like a child?
I swear I hear it sometimes

[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to forget you but sometimes forget to
And it's so damn hard, it's so damn hard
To think about the could've beens
The never was but should've beens
And it's still so hard
And I wonder

[Chorus]
How can I miss what never was?
There was never goodbye because there was never an us
How can I miss what never was?
Like it's the bad timing got the best of us
But what if you stayed?
What if I didn't run?
What if the one that got away was the one?
And what if we met
When we weren't so young?
What if the one that got away was the one?

[Verse 2]
Counting [?] days
Does [?] show on your face?
I remember all these memories that we almost made

[Pre-Chorus]
So I try to forget you but sometimes forget to
And it's so damn hard, it's so damn hard
To think about the could've beens
The never was but should've been
And it's still so hard
And I wonder

[Chorus]
How can I miss what never was?
There was never goodbye because there was never an us
How can I miss what never was?
Like it's the bad timing got the best of us
But what if you stayed?
What if I didn't run?
What if the one that got away was the one?
And what if we met
When we weren't so young?
What if the one that got away was the one?

[Bridge]
And you may not eve remember
That one night in Denver
We sat upon your roof and talked 'til the sun came up
We shared a stolen bottle of whiskey
I said "My dad's gonna kill me"
But we didn't care
We could've stayed right there

[Chorus]
How can I miss what never was?
What if this feeling only ever happens once?
But what if you stayed?
What if I didn't run?
What if the one that got away was the one?
And what if we met
When we weren't so young?
What if the one that got away was the one?
