**Verse 1**
Sophomore year, across the lunchroom,
That's where I first met you.
We'd talk a little every day,
Didn't know what we'd become.
I thought we'd have a lot more time,
Thought we'd get closer somehow.
But summer came and took us on,
And we're not close even now.
**Chorus**
I never got a clear answer why,
Why we never got that close.
I tried to hold onto the moments,
But they disappeared like ghosts.
No goodbye and no explanation,
Just a question left behind.
I guess I'll always wonder
Why you never felt like mine.
**Verse 2**
Junior year, you had a boyfriend,
You had your own friends too.
I wasn't angry, wasn't jealous,
I just didn't know what to do.
We'd pass each other through the halls,
Like strangers passing by.
I kept thinking there'd be another chance,
But I never knew why.
**Chorus**
I never got a clear answer why,
Why we never got that close.
I tried to hold onto the moments,
But they disappeared like ghosts.
No goodbye and no explanation,
Just a question left behind.
I guess I'll always wonder
Why you never felt like mine.
**Bridge — Senior Year**
Then senior year, I got your number,
We hung out a couple times.
I asked you if you'd go to prom,
But you already had plans that night.
I thought maybe we'd get closer,
Maybe this could finally start.
But graduation came too quickly,
And you faded from my heart.
**Final Chorus**
I never got a clear answer why,
Why you stopped texting me.
Three years of hoping we'd get closer,
Three years of wondering what we'd be.
No goodbye and no explanation,
Just a question left behind.
Maybe I'll never know the reason,
Maybe that's just life sometimes.
**Outro**
I met you in sophomore year,
And I'll remember you.
Not because we became close friends,
But because I wished we would've.
