The One That Got Away Lyrics

The One That Got Away lyrics

You left a guy who told you where to be and when 

I was with a girl who tried to sleep with my best friend 

We both took comfort in each others messy lives 

Finding warmth on that cold November night 

We swore it'd be years before we brought that on again 

Days later you said that we should be more 

than just friends 

I let my guard down cause the feelings were so strong 

But acted stupid and that's when he came along 



It's been so long 

I should just move on 

There's other fish in the sea 

But I keep hoping that you'll swim back to me 



We'd sneak out and go swimming late at night 

You're one of few who can say they've seen me cry 

You got my quirkiness and awkward sense of humor 

We shared Simpson quote and started made up rumors 



If night turned into day you'd hide me from your mom 

I could never fight with you cause you were never wrong 

This time especially the blame is all on me 

If I'd not screwed things up I wonder where we'd be 



One day for no reason I broke our date 

So you made other plans that day 

And that's when you met him 

And why you're still with him today 



I keep hoping you'll swim back home to me 

I'm just glad I got a chance to know you 

You'll forever be the one that got away
