I still really, really love you, yeah!
I still really, really need you, oh, oh
She's the one that got away
I know she's searching for me
But I, I, I don't know if she'll take me back this time, this time
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away, hey, hey
I've changed, I know you don't believe me
It doesn't matter now, that you moved on
Cause my feelings are the same
But at least I know he keeps you smiling
When I'm with her, sometimes, when I'm sad and done
I, I, I can't help but look up
And think about when we first hooked up
I know what love is
You showed me what love is
She's the one that got away
I know she's searching for me
But I, I, I don't know if she'll take me back this time, this time!
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away, hey, hey
Empty rum bottle mixed to a candle light with a dying flame
Half freaking love, let it try to describe my pain
Unable to think clear, tear drops at the pages making the ink smear
I told you the truth from the get go
You chose to ignore it refusing to let go
The situation I was in, was a blowing world wind
Wasn't fit to take care of myself, let alone a girlfriend!
You said it don't matter, the material's irrelevant
And I couldn't believe it, could it be that she's heaven sent
You was different from the average chick
Cause you were [?] doing wits that complemented your a** and tits
Took me into your home
The second I met your mom's, caught [?]
But I love you cause you stuck around, said you'd never doubt me
Regardless of what people around you said about me
Whenever we rested lay your head on my chest
I watch you go to sleep and listen to every breath you take
And now we certain that the reason we met was faith
Looking back it hurts, cause I deeply regret mistakes
As a man I should have put an end to it
When I noticed that the party ain't got out of hand
History is a drug usage that we both escape
Like Rihanna, we fell in love in a hopeless place
Knew that it wouldn't work, I was too reluctant to let go
Said my life style is too destructive, and I know
What goes up must come down
Like a bottom rocket, didn't know how to knock it
I f**ed up! Wanted to make you my wife
Now she left me, and I'm stuck here paying the price
Cause of you I've been through the ring
I was a fool for letting [?] my fingers
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away
I know she's searching for me
But I, I, I don't know if she'll take me back this time, this time
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away, hey, hey
