The One That Got Away
Remember the time we spent our days
Just talking and playing when we would say
That all the things that stressed us out
Would go away when you were around?
Remember how the time flew by
When all we had was us and time
Days turned to weeks and months into years
But despite the time I couldn't keep you here
You had the eyes, the hair, the skin
The personality within
The way you smiled and made my day
And the way you took my fears away
You had the voice to make me melt
And the way you changed the things I felt
But I didn’t make you mine
And that’s what makes you
The one that got away
I remember the first time we traded smiles
And walked around town for miles and miles
The first night that we held hands
And the way my love for you began
But all of those are memories now
Cause I let you go and I don’t know how
You were the only thing I knew
So why would I let go someone like you?
You had the face to brighten a room
An attitude like sweet perfume
The way you had me lookin’ over my shoulder
And kept me warm as it got colder
You had my heart pounding at every glance
And wishing for a single chance
But I didn’t make you mine
And that’s what makes you
The one that got away
I lay alone in bed each night
Regretting the things I didn’t do
With a tear soaked pillow, a broken heart
And a stack of letters I wrote to you
I never sent them cause I'd regret them
And all the things that represent them
But what I regret most of all is letting you become
The one that got away
You were the angel that came from my dreams
With a golden glow and gorgeous wings
You were the lover I never had
And all of these make you
The one that got away
