The One (That Got Away)

[Intro]
You're the one that got away

[Verse 1]
I saw you today for the first time in 3 years
Didn’t think I loved you anymore until I saw you
Now my heart hurts, made it even worse
That’s why I’m spitting it in a verse
You are the one, that got away
How I wish that I could have made you stay
But I don’t know why you’d give me time of day
It’s always been this way, it’s never changed
Ever since the 4th grade, I find it kind of strange
Always got played, but I never strayed
Now we almost in the 12th grade
Hoping this’ll be the year, I get to call you babе

[Interlude]
But now here you are again
So lеt’s skip the how’ve you been and
Get down to the more than friends at last

[Verse 2]
Maybe, I’ll fill up your shot glass
Let’s sit down and just have a chat
Look at you, look at me, we’re perfect for each other
I don’t know why you can’t see that
Used to have the biggest crush on you
And literally, everybody knew it too
Always messing up my plans
It’s cause you don’t think I’m a man
You mentioned how all I used to do was frown
That's just because you weren’t really around
But now that I’m better and don’t need ya
You come back thinking I’ma chase ya

[Hook]
You are the one that got away
I think I see why you really shouldn’t stay
But now you coming back, whoop ti do
The wall I built, cracked, I'm a fool
You are the one that got away
I think I see why you really shouldn’t stay
But now you coming back, whoop ti do
The wall I built, cracked, I'm a fool

[Verse 3]
I hate falling for someone who doesn’t return the favor
I mean, I just wish I could learn that it’s not her
She’s not the one for me, I don’t know why I can’t see that
It’s been a fact since the 4th grade to be exact
People been telling me all along, how I wish that I was wrong
They tell me to move on and to stop making sad love songs
But it’s how I express myself, but now I feel compelled
To stop yelling at the mic, in a parallel universe, I might
But I won’t, and you’ll never see me again, no you won’t
I’m falling out of love with you
Sad to say but it is the truth
She’s just not into me, I gotta move on
Be a better man, come on and sing along, yeah

[Hook]
You are the one that got away
I think I see why you really shouldn’t stay
But now you coming back, whoop ti do
The wall I built, cracked, I'm a fool
You are the one that got away
I think I see why you really shouldn’t stay
But now you coming back, whoop ti do
The wall I built, cracked, I'm a fool

[Verse 4]
I feel like my heart is bleeding
I’ve just got this bad feeling
I know I should be leaving
But damn, you’re so deceiving
What we could’ve been
Haunts me now and again
You live a life of sin
One that I cannot commend

[Verse 5]
My momma don’t like you, but I tried to make it work
You don’t know the truth, you kicked me in the dirt
It’s a good thing I’m wearing an under-shirt
Stabbed me in the heart, this shit hurts

[Hook]
You are the one that got away
I think I see why you really shouldn’t stay
But now you coming back, whoop ti do
The wall I built, cracked, I'm a fool
You are the one that got away
I think I see why you really shouldn’t stay
But now you coming back, whoop ti do
The wall I built, cracked, I'm a fool
