I hoped you'd share your life with me, Now that you were finally free, But every time he crossed your mind, You'd end up leavin' me behind. I tried my best to see us through, But I was always losin' you. [Chorus] I don't know where you are tonight, But you ain't here, and that ain't right. Your heart kept wonderin' around, Searchin' for peace you never found. Lookin' back, I know that I'll see Thoughts of you are torturin' me. You're not the one that got away, No, you're the one who wouldn't stay. [Verse 2] You'd leave and say you needed time, Then come back actin' like you're fine. Somehow I knew that we were through, And I went crazy, yeah, that's true. That's when I knew down in my heart, That it was best for us to part. I love you more than words could say, But I just can't go on this way. [Chorus] I don't know where you are tonight, But you ain't here, and that ain't right. Your heart kept wonderin' around, Searchin' for peace you never found. Lookin' back, I know that I'll see Thoughts of you are torturin' me. You're not the one that got away, No, you're the one who wouldn't stay. [Bridge] You know, I used to think in time, I'd find a way to make you mine. I couldn't make that dream come true, Because you didn't want it too. [Chorus] I don't know where you are tonight, But you ain't here, and that ain't right. Your heart kept wonderin' around, Searchin' for peace you never found. Lookin' back, I know that I'll see Thoughts of you are torturin' me. You're not the one that got away, No, you're the one who wouldn't stay. [Outro]
