The One Who Got Away
Waiting by the fountain, waiting to see your pretty smile
But the faces are all blurred and you're not coming
Walk past all the places where together we would go
My hand feels so empty without yours to hold
This is the hardest thing I think I could ever do
Let go of a promise for the sake of you
This is for the one who got away
I get it, you just couldn't stay
But don't worry about me
I'll be right here deep below the waves
Deep below the waves
I feel the darkness as it washes over me
Drowning out the promise of what could've been
All the things I wanted disappear in lethargy
I guess love is hollow, empty just like me
This is the hardest thing I think I have ever done
Let go of the future before it's begun
This is for the one who got away
I get it, you just couldn't stay
But don't worry about me
I'll be right here deep below the waves
Deep below the waves
Guess I should be bitter but I'm not
You could say that I don't give a fuck
We're so much better without each other
So much better without the silly lie
That everything's alright
This is for the one who got away
I get it and I don't wanna stay
Yeah, don't worry about me
I'll be right here deep below the waves
Deep below the waves
I'm drowning deep below the waves
It feels so cold and I'm not sure I'll be OK
It's getting darker and I'm so lost (I'm drowning deep below the waves)
I'm all alone and I'm afraid (I'm drowning deep below the waves)
I'm drowning deep below the waves
But the faces are all blurred and you're not coming
Walk past all the places where together we would go
My hand feels so empty without yours to hold
This is the hardest thing I think I could ever do
Let go of a promise for the sake of you
This is for the one who got away
I get it, you just couldn't stay
But don't worry about me
I'll be right here deep below the waves
Deep below the waves
I feel the darkness as it washes over me
Drowning out the promise of what could've been
All the things I wanted disappear in lethargy
I guess love is hollow, empty just like me
This is the hardest thing I think I have ever done
Let go of the future before it's begun
This is for the one who got away
I get it, you just couldn't stay
But don't worry about me
I'll be right here deep below the waves
Deep below the waves
Guess I should be bitter but I'm not
You could say that I don't give a fuck
We're so much better without each other
So much better without the silly lie
That everything's alright
This is for the one who got away
I get it and I don't wanna stay
Yeah, don't worry about me
I'll be right here deep below the waves
Deep below the waves
I'm drowning deep below the waves
It feels so cold and I'm not sure I'll be OK
It's getting darker and I'm so lost (I'm drowning deep below the waves)
I'm all alone and I'm afraid (I'm drowning deep below the waves)
I'm drowning deep below the waves
