The One That Got Away
I still really, really love you, yeah!
I still really, really need you, oh, oh
She's the one that got away
I know she's searching for me
But I, I, I know she'll take me back this time, this time!
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away, hey, hey
I've changed! I know you don't believe me
It doesn't matter now, that you moved on
Cause my feelings are the same,
But at least I know he keeps you smiling.
When I'm with her, sometimes, when I'm sad and done
I, I, I can't help but look up
And think about when we first hooked up
I know what love is
You showed me what love is
She's the one that got away
I know she's searching for me
But I, I, I don't know if she'll take me back this time, this time!
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away, hey, hey
Empty rum bottle mixed to a candle light with a dying flame
Half freaking love, let it try to describe my pain
I . think clear, tear drops at the pages making the ink smear.
I told you the truth from the get go,
You chose to ignore it refusing to let go
The situation I was in, was a blowing world wind
Wasn't fit to take care of myself, let alone a girlfriend!
You said it don't matter, the material's irrelevant
And I couldn't believe it, could it be that she's having...
You was different from the average chick,
Cause you were ... doing wits that complemented your ass and tits.
Took me into your home,
The second I met your mom's, caught...
But I love you cause you stuck around, said you'd never doubt me
Regardless of what people around you said about me
Whenever we rested lay my head on my chest
I watch you go to sleep and listen to every breath you take.
And now I'm certain that the reason we met was faith
Looking back it hurts, cause I deeply regret mistakes.
As a man I should have put an end to it
When I noticed that the party ain't got out of hand.
History is a drug usage that we both escape
Like your honor, we fell in love in a hopeless place.
Knew that it wouldn't work, I was too reluctant to let go
Said my life style is too destructive, and I know
What goes up must come down
Like a bottom rocket, didn't know how to knock it
I fucked up! Wanted to make you my wife
Now she left me, and I'm stuck here paying the price!
Cause of you I've been through the ring
I was a fool for letting ... my fingers.
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away
I know she's searching for me
But I, I, I don't know if she'll take me back this time, this time!
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away, hey, hey
I still really, really need you, oh, oh
She's the one that got away
I know she's searching for me
But I, I, I know she'll take me back this time, this time!
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away, hey, hey
I've changed! I know you don't believe me
