[Verse 1]
I'm not a criminal (Oh no, oh no)
But I felt like a prisoner (For so long so long)
And all I ever wanted (Was to love and to be loved, yeah)
So what did I do to you? (So wrong, so wrong)
Oh 'cause you broke so much more than just a promise
When you made me believe I wasn't wanted
I could miss you like you want but if I'm honest
[Chorus]
I feel like the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better 'cause I'm better now
In the middle of the night
Made it to the other side
You can run but you can't catch me now
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Turns out you're not a god (All the faith that I gave to you)
The silence is all I got (And I hate that I prayed to you)
All the chains that I couldn't break
The games that I couldn't play
'Cause you'd always win them anyway
Never thought there would come a day
Where I'd be saved and safe enough to say that
[Chorus]
I'm the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better 'cause I'm better now
In the middle of the night
Made it to the other side
You can run but you can't catch me now
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Is it worth the price I paid for staying?
I gave it all, you gave it all away and now
I'm takin' back the piece of me you wasted 'cause
[Chorus]
I'm the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better 'cause I'm better now
In the middle of the night
Made it to the other side
You can run but you can't catch me now
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The One That Got Away was written by Hunter Hayes & Sam Ellis & Sara Haze.
The One That Got Away was produced by Andrew Wells (Producer) & Hunter Hayes.
Hunter Hayes released The One That Got Away on Thu Jan 14 2021.
I wrote “The One That Got Away” after having a certain chapter in my life end abruptly. At first, I saw that change as a bad thing, even though I’d played a part in the ending. The song came from realizing that certain things I was holding onto so tightly were slowly destroying me, and from feeling...
