"The One That Got Away" lyrics
"The One That Got Away"
I'm not a criminal (Oh no, oh no)
But I felt like a prisoner (For so long so long)
And all I ever wanted (Was to love and to be loved, yeah)
So what did I do to you? (So wrong, so wrong)
Oh 'cause you broke so much more than just a promise
When you made me believe I wasn't wanted
I could miss you like you want but if I'm honest
I feel like the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better 'cause I'm better now
In the middle of the night
Made it to the other side
You can run but you can't catch me now
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Turns out you're not a god (All the faith that I gave to you)
The silence is all I got (And I hate that I prayed to you)
All the chains that I couldn't break
The games that I couldn't play
'Cause you'd always win them anyway
Never thought there would come a day
Where I'd be saved and safe enough to say that
I'm the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better 'cause I'm better now
In the middle of the night
Made it to the other side
You can run but you can't catch me now
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Is it worth the price I paid for staying?
I gave it all, you gave it all away and now
I'm takin' back the piece of me you wasted 'cause
I'm the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better 'cause I'm better now
In the middle of the night
Made it to the other side
You can run but you can't catch me now
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You don't know how lucky you are
You shouldn't spend your whole life wishing

Every time you're feeling empty
Better thank your lucky stars

The sunlight sneaking through the window
Sliding down your pillow
Shining like a halo, baby

Just so I can watch you
Sleeping like an angel, baby
5 minute sweet spot...

Girl, know your place, be willing and able
Take it on the chin, let the best man win

The canvas' colors can't hold like they once could
And listen to the growing sound of all unknown
Bids me farewell
Saw the new horizon deep in...
