[Intro – Soft Piano / Ambient Guitar]
Yeah…
I saw you tonight.
Didn’t think it would hit like this.
[Verse 1]
I still know the curve of your smile
Like the back roads out of this town
Every corner’s got your ghost
Every sunset pulls me down
You said we were “right, wrong time”
Guess the clock just chose your side
’Cause now you’re standing in his arms
And I’m just standing here outside
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought we were a slow burn flame
Didn’t know love could change that fast
[Chorus – Big, Emotional]
You were the one that got away
Now you found someone new
Guess I was just a chapter
In the story that led to you
You look happier than you ever did with me
Like I was just something you outgrew
You were the one that got away…
And you found someone new
[Verse 2]
I remember that July rain
You dancing in my truck bed
Swore that we were forever
Every word you said
Now forever’s just a word
You don’t even say out loud
He gets the version of you
That I always dreamed about
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep replaying every line
Trying to see where we went wrong
[Chorus]
You were the one that got away
Now you found someone new
Guess I was just a chapter
In the story that led to you
You look happier than you ever did with me
Like I was just something you outgrew
You were the one that got away…
And you found someone new
[Bridge – Stripped Down]
Do you ever miss the way
We used to stay up talking ’til the sun?
Or did you let me fade
The second he came along?
I hope he holds you tighter
I hope he never lets you down
I hope he gives you everything
I couldn’t figure out
[Final Chorus – Bigger / With Harmony]
You were the one that got away
Now you found someone new
I’m just a faded photograph
You don’t even look at too
You’re smiling in a different life
Like I never mattered to you
You were the one that got away…
And you found someone new
[Outro – Soft]
If loving you was my mistake
It’s one I’d still choose…
’Cause you were the one that got away—
And you found someone new.**
