The One That Got Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Is it really you, can't expect to come to you - not today
It must've been atleast a year or two since the last time I seen your face
Ain't nothing that new, been doing the usual, good to know that you're okay
It's a shame you had to go so fast but take care anyway
How could I ever let her walk out on my life
And why did I ever treat her anything less then kind
My only reply, guess I was a foolish guy
And I should've taken out more time to say all the simple things like
You're so beautiful - every single chance I get, I let her know
Maybe if I could, I truely believe she would've stayed
Cause I really could just kick myself today
She's the one that got away
Sure she's moved on, probably deep gone, with someone who treats her right
I can't imagine the time they're having cause then they're finally satisfied
Could've been the one, I was so dumb to let her walk out of my life
Guess I just have to live with the fact she's happy although she's no longer mine's
How could I ever let her walk out on my life
And why did I ever treat her anything less then kind
My only reply, guess I was a foolish guy
And I should've taken out more time to say all the simple things like
You're so beautiful - every single chance I get, I let her know
Maybe if I could, I truely believe she would've stayed
Cause I really could just kick myself today
She's the one that got away
Guess it's my lost and I understand the cost
Should've stepped up, too scared, I waited too long
But now she's out of my reach, no one else to blame but me
Lesson learned, I would never take for granted true love again
Love again, yeah, oh oh
Cause I miss you, oh oh
Never take for granted
All the simple things like
You're so beautiful - every single chance I get, I let her know
Maybe if I could, I truely believe she would've stayed
Cause I really could just kick myself today
She's the one that got away
You're beautiful
I wanna let her how much I love her
You would've stayed
I know now it's my fault that I let you get away
Oh, no no
