The one that got away

so we’re officially a memory there’s no use dwelling in the past well i’ve always understood anything that feels this good is the kind of thing that wasn’t meant to last so i’ll get over you cause thats what people do yes, you and i, we’ll both get by, well make it, come what may the days will turn to years and when the smoke all clears when i refer to what we were i’ll simply smile and say: you’re the one who got away i’ve never claimed to be an optimist no big believer in romance but we could have worked out well, and it’s frustrating as hell that we never really ever got a chance the world keeps turning still just like it always will i wish it all would stop or stall, but it does not obey i’m sure we’ll both move on though what we had is gone but there’s a part, deep in my heart where you will always stay as the one who got away i’ll tell myself i’ve lost nothing worth grieving i’ll list the reason we were bound to fall through and someday i might go as far as believing that that is actually true no, i cannot forsee what lies in store for me still even now, i know somehow that i’ll turn out okay i’ll wonder now and then what truly might have been and sure regret, may haunt me yet but that’s the price you pay for the one who got away you’re the one who got away.
