The One Who Got Away Lyrics by Sam De Jesus

2021

If I could take it back
Just know that I, I would
At least I gave you half
Of more than you ever could
I find myself thinking
Was it right to walk away?
Won’t you be my mistake?
Little too late for that
We learned that there’s no way
We’re different from the rest
Just ‘cause you had me then
Doesn’t mean you’re right
So I left
'Cause I’d be on the phone at 2am
Reading back on messages you sent
This feeling of emptiness creeping in
It’s only safe to say that
This is it
'Cause you were named the one that got away
The reason why you can’t ask me to stay
Every time I’m calling out your name
The only thing that’s left for me to say
The one who got away
Regrets are sinking in
As days and months pass by
A case of wrong timing
I’m always asking why?
Needless to say
You were the one
To leave it all behind
But now
That I’m gone
Seven messages lit up my phone
How could you love somebody
You used to call home
Every now and then
I lie alone
Your shadows
Creep in from my bedroom window
Your last hello
Well I suppose
Mmmm
This is it
'Cause you were named the one that got away
The reason why you can’t ask me to stay
Every time I’m calling out your name
The only thing that’s left for me to say
The one who got away
Silly me
Were we too young to see
That this was never gonna work
End up saying sorry
Memories
I’d end up throwing away
It was never meant to be
Or was it part of the story?
Happily
I learned to move on myself
Never thought of looking back
You’re still thinking
About me
My sweater
That I gave you six months ago
You’re still holding on
I write the words to this song
'Cause you were named the one that got away
The reason why you can’t ask me to stay
'Cause every time I’m calling out your name
The only thing that’s left for me to say
The one who got away
