The one I let go

Verse 1

I used to stay up ’til 1 AM

Waiting for your name to light up again

Back when our love was strong and wild

But I let it slip away, one foolish mile

Pre-Chorus

Now I’m staring at these empty walls

Wishing I had made the call

To hold you close and never stray

But you’re the one that got away

Chorus

I never should have let you go

Now the nights are cold, and the lights are low

I’d give it all just to have you stay

But you’re the one I let slip away

I never should have let you go

Now my heart’s heavy, and it’s aching slow

If I could turn back time, I’d change that day

But you’re the one I let slip away

Verse 2

We talked ’bout dreams ’til the break of dawn

Back when I thought we’d carry on

Now those words are just echoes in the night

How did I lose what felt so right?

Pre-Chorus

Now I’m drowning in my own regret

Hoping I can still forget

The way you smiled, the way you’d say

That you’d never be the one to stray

Chorus

I never should have let you go

Now the nights are cold, and the lights are low

I’d give it all just to have you stay

But you’re the one I let slip away

I never should have let you go

Now my heart’s heavy, and it’s aching slow

If I could turn back time, I’d change that day

But you’re the one I let slip away

Bridge

Maybe someday I’ll see you again

Maybe I’ll get the chance to make amends

But until then, I live with the truth

That I let go of the best in you

Chorus

I never should have let you go

Now the nights are cold, and the lights are low

I’d give it all just to have you stay

But you’re the one I let slip away

I never should have let you go

Now my heart’s heavy, and it’s aching slow

If I could turn back time, I’d change that day

But you’re the one I let slip away

Outro

You’re the one I let slip away…
