[Intro – quiet, longing] Streetlights glow on empty streets Memories cling like winter sheets [Verse 1 – heavy-hearted] I pass the café where we used to sit The booth where we’d laugh through every fit Your favorite mug still sits on the shelf I trace the crack where we left ourselves [Verse 2 – aching] I heard your name on the radio today A song we danced to back in May I had to pull over, hands shaking on the wheel Trying to make the spinning feelings heal [Pre-Chorus – rising tension] I told myself I’d let you go But every night your ghost still shows I thought I’d learned to breathe again But your memory pulls me back again [Chorus – raw, powerful] You’re the girl that got away Loving someone else today I taste the salt of every tear Wishing I could make you reappear You’re the hole in every song The silence where my heart belongs I’m still here stuck in yesterday With the girl that got away [Interlude, Instrumental Solo – blistering electric guitar, swelling strings] [Verse 3 – hollow] I saw your photo on a friend’s phone screen You’re smiling wide, leaning into his lean His arm around your waist, your head on his chest I felt my world split into a million messes [Verse 4 – desperate] I still have the necklace you gave me for Christmas The charm’s faded, just like my wishes I wear it under my shirt, close to my heart Pretending we’re still where we used to start [Pre-Chorus – frayed, urgent] I tried to fill the space you left With empty nights and meaningless bets But nothing sticks, nothing feels right I’m still stuck in the wreckage of our fight [Chorus Reprise – soaring, broken] You’re the girl that got away Building a life I can’t invade I count the seconds till I sleep Hoping dreams will let me keep The ghost of your hand in mine The words we never got to define I’m still here stuck in yesterday With the girl that got away [Bridge – vulnerable, raw] I don’t hate you for moving on I hate that I’m still holding on I hope he gives you all I couldn’t give I hope you never have to feel this live I’ll keep your memory locked away But some nights it still finds a way To break through the walls I built so high And make me wonder why, why, why [Final Chorus – explosive, cathartic] You’re the girl that got away Loving someone else today I scream your name into the dark Wishing I could rewrite the mark You left on every part of me The part that still can’t let you be I’m still here stuck in yesterday With the girl that got away [Outro – fading, defeated] Streetlights dim on empty streets Your ghost still clings to winter sheets
