The One That Got Away

[ Verse 1]: We were young, the world was wide, We danced on dreams and chased the tide. Your laughter rang like summer rain, Bright and warm, it soothed my pain. [Pre-Chorus]: But time moves on and seasons change, Promises whispered, then rearranged. In the twilight's gentle glow, I see the love I used to know. [Chorus]: You're the one that got away, A melody I couldn't play. A story left without an end, A lover lost, a fading friend. [ Verse 2]: I still recall the way you'd smile, Turning shadows into light for a while. We spoke of dreams beneath the moon, Believing morning came too soon. [Pre-Chorus]: Yet time moves on and people grow, We took separate paths, but even so, In the echoes of a long-lost day, I hear the words I didn’t say. [Chorus]: You're the one that got away, A melody I couldn't play. A story left without an end, A lover lost, a fading friend. [Bridge]: Years have passed, and still I find, Fragments of you linger on my mind. In every love that came and went, Your memory stays, my heart's lament. [Chorus]: You're the one that got away, A melody I couldn't play. A story left without an end, A lover lost, a fading friend. [Outro]: In another life, in another way, Maybe I'd have found the words to say. But until then, you'll always stay, The one that got away.
