Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now you finally tell me how you feel
Guess your words just came a little too late
All the drama boy it's overkill
Don't be mad at me cause you've been replaced, know your place

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you woulda manned up, put your hand up, stand up
Tell me how you really felt
Then maybe it'd be different, if you spoke I would've listened
But now I'm with somebody else
And he loves me
Too much for me to mess this up
And it sucks to be all in your head
Wondering, where this thing could go, but

[Chorus]
You will never know what we could have been
If you would've shown your way back then
Boy you gotta, boy you shoulda cause you didn't know, so
Now you'll never know, you'll never know

[Verse 2]
Now it's probably hard for you to hear
But there's nothing left for you to say
Had my heart all in your hands boy, what you don't understand
Is a girl like me don't have no time to waste around

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you woulda manned up, put your hand up, stand up
Tell me how you really felt
Then maybe it'd be different, if you spoke I would've listened
But now I'm with somebody else
And he loves me
Too much for me to mess this up
And it sucks to be all in your head
Wondering, where this thing could go, but

[Chorus]
You will never know what we could have been
If you would've shown your way back then
Boy you gotta, boy you shoulda cause you didn't know, so
Now you'll never know, you'll never know
You'll never know, boy you should've told me, told me
You'll never know, boy you should've let me know
You'll never know, boy you could've been there for me
But now you'll never know, you'll never know

[Bridge]
It's not my fault, you're a little bit too late
You're the only one to blame, wipe that look off your face
You can wish a thousand times, but none of that will change my mind boy
You had a chance you'll never get back, get back

[Chorus]
You will never know what we could have been
If you would've shown your way back then
Boy you gotta, boy you shoulda cause you didn't know, so
Now you'll never know, you'll never know
You'll never know, boy you should've told me, told me
You'll never know, boy you should've let me know
You'll never know, boy you could've been there for me
But now you'll never know, you'll never know

[Outro]
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know
