I saw your picture Friday night
White dress, porch light glow
His hand resting on your waist
Like it’s always been his home
You’re smiling like you used to
Back when it was me and you
Now I’m just some ghost
In a life you outgrew
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep telling myself
It’s just timing and fate
But that don’t make it hurt
Any less watching you walk away
[Chorus]
You’re the one who got away
And found someone new
Guess I was just a stepping stone
On the road that led to you
He gets your Sunday mornings
I get these empty rooms
You’re the one who got away
And found someone new
[Verse 2]
I still drive by that old spot
Where we talked about forever
You said nobody else
Could ever love you better
Now he’s wearing my old hoodie
In a picture on your page
And I’m staring at a memory
I can’t turn the page
[Pre-Chorus]
They say if it’s meant to be
It’ll come back around
But I’m watching you build a life
On somebody else’s ground
[Chorus]
You’re the one who got away
And found someone new
Guess I was just a lesson learned
You finally made it through
He gets to hold you close
When the night cuts you in two
You’re the one who got away
And found someone new
[Bridge]
Maybe I loved you wrong
Maybe I loved you late
Maybe he just showed up
When I hesitated
If I could turn back time
God knows I’d make my move
But I’m stuck watching
Him loving you
[Soft Breakdown]
I hope he knows how lucky
He is to call you his
I hope he never breaks your heart
The way mine’s breaking like this
[Final Chorus]
You’re the one who got away
And found someone new
And I’m learning how to breathe
In a world without you
He gets your forever
I just get the truth
You’re the one who got away
Yeah… you’re the one who got away
And found someone new
[Outro]
If loving you was losing
I guess I always knew
The one who got away
Was never mine to lose.
