[Male Singing] Time and fortune turned their backs on me The staircase of life you climbed so high Meanwhile I was cashing bad checks only So from a distance I watched you fly [Pre-chorus] There's no use for crying It's not worth even trying Our paths will never cross again All I could do is watch you walk away... [Chorus] The one that got away You're the one that got away Still even now girl I pray Some day you'll walk my way (The one that got away) Mhmm.... (The one that got away) Mhmm, yeah... [Rap] From pictures on the gram, you livin' a life of glam And I'm here like damn, mine turned into a scam Filled with plates of regrets and cups of shame I doubt you remember my name, but you occupy my brain A dragon I'll never slay, a fire that stays ablaze. That teenage crush that still has me crushed You're a pretty flower my fingers never touched Even in school uniform, I saw you and my blood rushed, Heart skipped a beat of two... all because of you But this life had a different view, if only then I knew They'll never be a better time I wouldn't have wasted mine Would have looked you in the eye and spoken my mind, Now I see you and get broken inside. I told you regret and shame dine at my table A love story that never was, now reads like a fable. The good ones go if you take things too slow Well at least now I know even though we're in different zones Speak to life in different tones, girl I still feel you in my bones.. In another time and day, I hope you come my way But for now you're the one that got away... (yeah) [Bridge] Looking at the stars, watching ours fade away An angel once came my way And I never gave her time or day... Now I gotta watch her fly away.... [Pre-chorus] There's no use in lying Ain't worth even denying Our paths will never cross again All I could do is watch you walk away... [Chorus] The one that got away You're the one that got away Still even now girl I pray Some day you'll walk my way (The one that got away) Mhmm.... (The one that got away) Mhmm, yeah... [Outro Fade Out] Hey I guess I took too long girl (The one that got away) Now I gotta look at you from a distance (The one that got away)
