"After The One" lyrics

Pretend that it's working
While you have a drawer
Full of photos of memories
You tell me mean nothing
I know they mean something

I talk about what could be
And I feel you subtly
Compare me to history
With someone you're missing
Somebody I can't be

I see "Forever" on your lips
But I know that you're
Somewhere else when we kiss

It's like I'm in a movie
Playing someone else's part
While you wonder where they are
You'd be okay to lose me
And I would fall apart
Tryna win your broken heart
I wish I was the one
And not just holding someone's place
But we both know I'm the one after the one that got away

I'm an optimist in every sense
My glass is empty ever since
I fell for this
I don't know what I'm doin'
Trying to love you through it

I think "Forever" looks like you
But I'm just the "moving on" you have to do

It's like I'm in a movie
Playing someone else's part
While you wonder where they are
You'd be okay to lose me
And I would fall apart
Tryna win your broken heart
I wish I was the one
And not just holding someone's place
But we both know I'm the one after the one that got away
Away

The one, the one, the one, the one
After the one, the one, the one, the one
Ooh, the one, the one, the one, the one
After the one, the one, the one, the one

I wish I was the one
And not just holding someone's place
But we both know I'm the one after the one that got away
