(I'll be the one who got away
If you don't try to make me stay
Through all the time we spent I know now
We're better off this way)
Could you be the one to hold me
Whenever I'm around
And could you be my one and only
Will we ever get that far?
There's a hole in my heart for you
Where there was a hole in my heart for you
I'll be the one who got away
If you don't try to make me stay
Through all the time we spent I know now
We're better off this way
I'll be the one who got away
If you don't try to make me stay
Through all the time that we spent I know now
That we're better off this way
No we can't even try
Yo please don't make me cry
No we can't even try
Thought you the one for my eyes
Girl you been dancin' on my mind (my mind)
Need you back with me just once (just once)
I wake up aye like it's high tide
But it's eatin' me like I'm lunch
We would run together, we'd have fun together
Shit we got so close that I thought forever
But now I've got to get up
This awful set up
Where I'm not with you and
My thoughts won't let up like, damn!
Best for me to just let it go
We were great but it's ended for
Worse or maybe for better though
I don't know
I mean... I know I'm going away
And this makes no sense
But this feeling
No and it just keeps getting stronger
I don't even know how it does that
But it does
I just have to say
We have the worst timing in the world
(Laughs) I don't know
You've done me the favour of just... existing
Maybe we'll have our chance
Someday
I'll be the one who got away
If you don't try to make me stay
Through all the time we spent I know now
We're better off this way
I'll be the one who got away
If you don't try to make me stay
Through all the time that we spent I know now
That we're better off this way
