In a crowded room, there you were,
A vision of beauty beyond compare.
My heart raced, my senses came alive,
In your presence, I felt so alive.
(Pre-Chorus)
We shared laughter, dreams and stolen glances,
Moments that felt like eternal trances.
Oh, the allure, an enigmatic grace,
You had cast a spell on this lonely space.
(Chorus)
But like a phantom, you slipped away,
Leaving behind a haunting dismay.
The one that got away, an elusive soul,
A bittersweet memory that takes its toll.
(Verse 2)
Days turned to nights, and months turned to years,
Yet the memory of you lingered in my ears.
I wondered and wandered, searching for you,
In the shadows of the past, I held onto a clue.
(Bridge)
Some say that love isn't meant to last,
That it fades, leaving only whispers of the past.
But I refuse to believe it's all in vain,
For the one that got away, I still yearn and sustain.
(Chorus)
But like a phantom, you slipped away,
Leaving behind a haunting dismay.
The one that got away, an elusive soul,
A bittersweet memory that takes its toll.
(Verse 3)
Through the ups and downs, the highs and the lows,
I carried with me the dreams that we both chose.
In my heart, I hold onto a small ember of hope,
That one day, fate will lead us to elope.
(Outro)
So I carry on, with a bittersweet smile,
Chasing after memories, mile after mile.
For the one that got away, my heart will always stay,
In a timeless chapter, where love never fades away.
