For everything you have missed, you have gained something else; and for everything you gain, you lose something else. It is about your outlook towards life. You can either regret or rejoice.

I don't get how you do it
How you can walk right past me
and act like nothing happened
like we're just two strangers on a street corner
I don't get how you look right at me
as if you're looking through me
i don't get how you can stand so close to me
and not even glance at me
or bother to say hello
i don't get you or the things you do
i wish i could
i wish i knew what i did wrong
i don't get how you can erase me out of your life so easily
while every day, I'm wishing you'd talk to me one more time
I don't get what i did to you
and now i miss you more than ever
