"The One That Got Away" lyrics

Don't think of me as the one that got away
(One that got away, one that got away)
I know you're feeling things, but you found 'em in the wrong place
(Found 'em in the wrong place, found 'em in the wrong place) Oh, oh
Gettin' up this close only gives me anxiety
(Gives me anxiety, gives me anxiety)
And maybe I'm a good guy but I'm no good at this
(I'm no good at this, I'm no good at this)

Too many times I been through this, it always ends the same
I'm gonna let you go before this love will turn to hate
You're gonna ask me why and I'll have nothing good to say
You're gonna be another one, the one that got away, yeah

So what do you do when you break a heart?
And you know it was your fault from the start
I'm runnin' and runnin' out of excuses
I'm wondering, why do I always do this?
Yeah, what do you do when you break a heart?
Always lettin' 'em down before it starts
Well, maybe I'm just broken through and through, yeah
It's always been on me, it's not on you, yeah

Don't think of me as the one that got away
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
The one that got away
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
The one that got away

If only you and me met a couple years wiser
(Couple years wiser, couple years wiser)
Maybe my baggage would feel a little lighter
(Feel a little lighter, feel a little lighter, ooh)
And when my ego shows up I'd be strong enough to fight it
(Strong enough to fight it, strong enough to fight it)
Oh, but right now I don't even know when I'm lying
(Know when I'm lying, know when I'm lying, ooh, yeah)

Too many times I been through this it always ends the same
I'm gonna let you go before this love will turn to hate
You're gonna ask me why and I'll have nothing good to say
You're gonna be another one, the one that got away (Yeah)

So what do you do when you break a heart?
And you know it was your fault from the start
I'm runnin' and runnin' out of excuses
(I'm running, I'm running, I'm running)
I'm wondering, why do I always do this?
Yeah, what do you do when you break a heart?
Always lettin' 'em down before it starts
Well, maybe I'm just broken through and through, yeah
It's always been on me, it's not on you, yeah

Don't think of me as the one that got away
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
The one that got away
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
The one that got away
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
The one that got away
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
The one that got away
