The One That Got Away Lyrics by Skinny Days

2017

[Verse 1: Emilie Adams]
If I had a dime for every time someone said
"I got to go, but I'll call you right back in a sec"
I would be rich yeah, I would be swimming in it
I would be rich
I said some things that I probably shouldn't have said
All of our issues, I made them all up in my head
Baby I get if it feels like I push you away
But tell me to stay
'Cause I need you
[Pre-Chorus: Emilie Adams]
Hold me close like
You've done a million times
We both know that
I need you by my side
We built it up and then I threw it all away
Hold me close
I won't let you be
The one that got away
[Chorus: Emilie Adams]
Hold me close like
We both know that
We built it up and then I threw it all away
Hold me close
I won't let you be
The one that got away
[Verse 2: Emilie Adams]
Remember you called me and said you were gonna be late?
And telling me, "Baby, don't worry, there's no need to wait up
Just go to sleep and I'll sneak my way back into bed"
Oh, but you never did
But I need you
[Pre-Chorus: Emilie Adams]
Hold me close like
You've done a million times
We both know that
I need you by my side
We built it up and then I threw it all away
Hold me close
I won't let you be
The one that got away
[Chorus: Emilie Adams]
Hold me close like
We both know that
We built it up and then I threw it all away
Hold me close
I won't let you be
The one that got away
[Bridge: Emilie Adams]
We built it up and then I threw it all away
Hold me close
I won't let you be
The one that got away
[Chorus: Emilie Adams]
Hold me close like
We both know that
We built it up and then I threw it all away
Hold me close
I won't let you be
The one that got away
