The One That Got Away Songtext / Lyric

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 other's 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 cuz the feelings were so strong

but acted stupid and thats when he came along



CHORUS:

its been so long, i should just move on

there's other fish in the sea

but i keep hoping you'll swim back home 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've got my quirkiness and awkward sense of humor

we shared simpson quotes and started made up rumors






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

i could never fight with you cuz 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



CHORUS:

it's been so long, i should just move on

there's other fish in the sea

but i keep hoping you'll swim back home to me



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



it's been so long, i should just move on

there's other fish in the sea

but i keep hoping you'll swim back home to-

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

you'll forever be the one that got away
