(Verse 1)
It was just another day,
Oh baby, all the things you’d say.
Those broken promises they pull me away.
I tried every day, oh I truly wanted to stay,
But the road between us keeps pulling me away.
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought our love would never fade,
But time and silence both betrayed.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I tried, oh baby I tried, but you still got away.
No matter how I held on, you chose to stray.
All the love I gave just slipped right through my hands,
And now I’m left here with empty plans.
Yeah, I tried, oh baby I tried, but you still got away.
(Verse 2)
Now the nights are colder, and your voice is gone,
The echoes of your laughter feel so wrong.
All the dreams we had are shadows in the rain,
I reach out for you, but you’re gone again.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
I keep rewinding every word you said,
Still lying awake alone in bed.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I tried, oh baby I tried, but you still got away.
And every tear I’ve cried won’t make you stay.
Our story ended faster than I could understand,
Now I’m trying to breathe again.
Yeah, I tried, oh baby I tried, but you still got away.
(Bridge)
Maybe love was never meant to last,
Just a candle burned too bright too fast.
I’ll carry your memory, but I’ll leave the pain,
Let it fall down like the rain.
(Final Chorus / Outro)
Yeah, I tried, oh baby I tried, but you still got away.
I whisper your name as the light turns grey.
There’s nothing left for me to say—
You got away… oh baby, you got away
