The One That Got Away Lyrics


Boy Howdy The One That Got Away


Time
She told me all she needed was some time
A little while
To mend her heart and leave the past behind
So I gave her the space that she wanted
Hoping she’d make room for me

But she’s still hanging on
To the one before me
Hanging on
Every word he used to say
But I’m the one that her arms are holding
Though her heart can’t let go of yesterday
‘ Cause she’s still hanging on to the one that got away

I have tried
She will never know how many times I’ve tried
But I still see him
Every time I look into her eyes
And I feel it each time that I hold her
There is some place that she’d rather be

But she’s still hanging on
To the one before me
Hanging on
Every word he used to say
But I’m the one that her arms are holding
Though her heart can’t let go of yesterday
‘Cause she’s still hanging on to the one that got away
Got away

Oh, I’m the one that her arms are holding
Though her heart can’t let go of yesterday
‘Cause she’s still hanging on to the one that got away

She’s still hanging on to the one that got away
Oh, the one that got away
