I remember taking drives,
Up near the seaside,
Said you wanna be my bride,
Said i made u laugh,
Liked it when i did it like that,
When i said i love you,
You always said it back,
No AC, yep, we only had a fan,
It so damn hot, yet, we didn't give a damn,
I remember laying blankets on the sand,
I remember making out in the back of the van,
I never said "i'm sorry".
I really can't explain.
I really cannot say, that you had any blame,
'cause i was in the wrong,
And you were in the right,
I guess that's why….
You're the one that got away,
Away, away,
You're the one that got away,
Away, away,
You're the one
I never thought i'd be here,
I never thought it'd end,
The day you said goodbye,
I tried to pretend,
Like you ain't mean nothing,
But i was just fronting…..
I guess that's why….
You're the one that got away,
Away, away,
You're the one that got away,
Away, away,
You're the one that got away,
I remember waving bye,
Hoping you would't cry,
'cause i told so many lies,
Twenty years have passed,
And i know,
You're never coming back,
Last time i called,
You wouldn't hit me back,
Now i see, yep,
I never should have ran,
I should have told the truth,
Yep, i should have been a man,
I'm always building castles in the sand,
I never planned for the tide,
Now it's high, and i'm damned.
I never said "i'm sorry".
I really can't explain.
I really cannot say, that you had any blame,
'cause i was in the wrong,
And you were in the right,
I guess that's why….
You're the one that got away,
Away, away,
You're the one that got away,
Away, away,
You're the one
I never thought i'd be here,
I never thought it'd end,
The day you said goodbye,
I tried to pretend,
Like you ain't mean nothing,
But i was just fronting…..
I guess that's why….
You're the one that got away,
Away, away,
You're the one that got away,
Away, away,
You're the one that got away,
