One That Got Away
How many "I love you"s did you think could keep me around
How many broken promises did you think could hold me down
I know that you meant it, every word that you said
You had to have known I would move on in the end
I know that we have history, and everything seemed clear to me
At the time
You got scared and you gave up, I thought my love would be enough
To get us by
I know I'm the one who got away
Is it so bad that I don't feel so bad to say
That I'm glad that it hurts, could've made it work
And I got a man who loves me sweet
And it's not what you wanna hear, but I'll never leave
But you'll hide from the truth, 'cause you wish it was you
You made me believe that I was more than a friend
My life has become more than a game of pretend
I know you regret it, all the years of what-if's
You had to have known I would grow out of it
Every day I'm proud to say, I'm better off in every way
With you gone
Lookin' at the history, it's finally come clear to me
That you were wrong
I know I'm the one who got away
Is it so bad that I don't feel so bad to say
That I'm glad that it hurts, could've made it work
And I got a man who loves me sweet
And it's not what you wanna hear, but I'll never leave
But you'll hide from the truth, 'cause you wish it was you
I'll always care for you
But I've been learnin' that
You don't have a love that's true
I know I'm the one who got away
Is it so bad that I don't feel so bad to say
That I'm glad that it hurts, could've made it work
And I got a man who loves me sweet
And it's not what you wanna hear, but I'll never leave
You can hide from the truth, it was never you
How many broken promises did you think could hold me down
I know that you meant it, every word that you said
You had to have known I would move on in the end
I know that we have history, and everything seemed clear to me
At the time
You got scared and you gave up, I thought my love would be enough
To get us by
I know I'm the one who got away
Is it so bad that I don't feel so bad to say
That I'm glad that it hurts, could've made it work
And I got a man who loves me sweet
And it's not what you wanna hear, but I'll never leave
But you'll hide from the truth, 'cause you wish it was you
You made me believe that I was more than a friend
My life has become more than a game of pretend
I know you regret it, all the years of what-if's
You had to have known I would grow out of it
Every day I'm proud to say, I'm better off in every way
With you gone
Lookin' at the history, it's finally come clear to me
That you were wrong
I know I'm the one who got away
Is it so bad that I don't feel so bad to say
That I'm glad that it hurts, could've made it work
And I got a man who loves me sweet
And it's not what you wanna hear, but I'll never leave
But you'll hide from the truth, 'cause you wish it was you
I'll always care for you
But I've been learnin' that
You don't have a love that's true
I know I'm the one who got away
Is it so bad that I don't feel so bad to say
That I'm glad that it hurts, could've made it work
And I got a man who loves me sweet
And it's not what you wanna hear, but I'll never leave
You can hide from the truth, it was never you
