Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your coat on the back of my chair Coffee gone cold by the sink We laughed ’til the neighbors complained Now it’s quiet enough to think You said forever like a promise I wore it like a ring I kept every little message Didn’t keep you That’s the thing [Pre-Chorus] How did we break Something that fit like skin I replay every word Till the tape wears thin (oh) [Chorus] You’re the one that got away But you’re also still my someday Every face in every crowd Just a shadow Just a shade If I meet somebody new I compare them all to you Every almost Every halfway ’Cause the one that got away Is you [Verse 2] Friends say I’ve gotta move on They don’t see you in my sleep You show up in old songs In the car on endless repeat I’m fine in the middle of daylight But it hits when the world goes dim I scroll past your smiling picture And fall off the edge again [Pre-Chorus] How did we lose Something that felt so sure I keep knocking on a door That’s not yours anymore (yeah) [Chorus] You’re the one that got away But you’re also still my someday Every face in every crowd Just a shadow Just a shade If I meet somebody new I compare them all to you Every almost Every halfway ’Cause the one that got away Is you [Bridge] Maybe you’re under the same sky Checking your phone at night Typing my name Then thinking twice If there’s a world where we’re alright I hope we find it this time ’Cause losing you once Already took this life [Chorus] You’re the one that got away But you’re also still my someday Every face in every crowd Just a shadow Just a shade If I meet somebody new I compare them all to you Every almost Every halfway ’Cause the one that got away The only one I ever stayed Afraid to lose Afraid to face Is you (is you)

Pre-chorus lifts with subtle toms and rising synths, chorus blooms with wide pop drums, airy backing harmonies, and a bright, aching topline. Final chorus strips first half to piano and vocal, then full-band swell with a lingering reverb tail., sad, pop
