The One That Got Away
You've got your intentions
And they're not to stay with me
You think you just broke my heart
It comes off your lips so easy
When you're telling me that since you moved away we've grown apart
So I keep telling myself
All those letters I wrote with red in my heart were not for you
All those times I drove straight through the night were not for you
All those songs I wasted melodies on were not for you
Oh I wish so bad that any of that were true
I've got my defenses
But they don't stand up to you acting like I lost some prize
And I can tell you're thinking you're the one that got away
And without you I'd lose my mind
So I keep telling myself
All those letters I wrote with red in my heart were not for you
All those times I drove right through the night were not for you
All those songs I wasted melodies on were not for you
Oh I wish so bad that any of that were true
It sounds easy to forget you
Since you easily forgot me
Oh I should just let you run without a chase
But there's an aching in my chest
And it doesn't seem to rest
I keep on picturing your face
Oh you might just be the one that got away
But I'll deny that you're the one that got away
So I keep telling myself
All those letters I wrote with red in my heart were not for you
All those times I drove right through the night were not for you
All those songs I wasted melodies on were not for you
Oh I wish so bad I wish so bad that
All those pictures hanging on my wall were not of you
All those dances spun around in the hall were not with you
All those songs I wasted melodies on were not of you
Oh I wish so bad that any of that were true
And they're not to stay with me
You think you just broke my heart
It comes off your lips so easy
When you're telling me that since you moved away we've grown apart
So I keep telling myself
All those letters I wrote with red in my heart were not for you
All those times I drove straight through the night were not for you
All those songs I wasted melodies on were not for you
Oh I wish so bad that any of that were true
I've got my defenses
But they don't stand up to you acting like I lost some prize
And I can tell you're thinking you're the one that got away
And without you I'd lose my mind
So I keep telling myself
All those letters I wrote with red in my heart were not for you
All those times I drove right through the night were not for you
All those songs I wasted melodies on were not for you
Oh I wish so bad that any of that were true
It sounds easy to forget you
Since you easily forgot me
Oh I should just let you run without a chase
But there's an aching in my chest
And it doesn't seem to rest
I keep on picturing your face
Oh you might just be the one that got away
But I'll deny that you're the one that got away
So I keep telling myself
All those letters I wrote with red in my heart were not for you
All those times I drove right through the night were not for you
All those songs I wasted melodies on were not for you
Oh I wish so bad I wish so bad that
All those pictures hanging on my wall were not of you
All those dances spun around in the hall were not with you
All those songs I wasted melodies on were not of you
Oh I wish so bad that any of that were true
