Some get away
Some stay
A few, they go too soon
(Verse 1)
I still wake up in the night
And wonder if I did the right thing
Did we meet at the wrong time?
Or was it just a feeling?
(Pre-Chorus)
The only one who really knew me
The only one who could hold me
The only one who could make me feel the way I do
But now you're gone, and I'm left with all these memories
(Chorus)
The one that got away
I knew from the start
You'd break my heart
But for some reason
I never turned away
(Verse 2)
In my dreams, I see you there
You still touch my hair
You still call me "darling"
And you still tell me that you care
(Pre-Chorus)
But I know that's not the truth
You don't love me like you used to
You don't need me like you used to
But I still miss you
(Chorus)
The one that got away
I knew from the start
You'd break my heart
But for some reason
I never turned away
(Verse 3)
In a world where anything is possible
I know that I'll find someone else
But there will always be a place in my heart
For the one that got away
(Pre-Chorus)
I'll never forget the way you held me
I'll never forget the way you made me feel
I'll never forget you
(Chorus)
The one that got away
I knew from the start
You'd break my heart
But for some reason
I never turned away
