You've been on my mind
So I said I'd find some time to let you know
I finally found it so
Here goes nothing.
I must admit I've lied
But before I tell you why
Please hear me out
You were a chance that I was too afraid of taking
This is it
This is all I have to say
I used to stay awake and wonder
Praying for the day when you would
Notice me but now I'm slowly
Noticing that while you were my world
You weren't the one
And now my searching days are done.
You never said you cared for me
You never told me anything
But the silence got me wondering
My curiosity
It got the best of me.
You got the best of me.
This is it
This is all I have to say
I used to stay awake and wonder
Praying for the day when you would
Notice me, but now I'm slowly
Noticing that while you were my world
You weren't the one
And now my searching days are done.
You are the one that got away
You are the one that I let go of
I'm so glad you ran away
Because I know I never could've
Told you face to face
I started thinking things were never gonna change
That I would never find someone 'cause it was far too late.
But then she showed up
When I was let down
I felt my heart jump
She helped me up from the ground and said
This is it
This is all I have to say
I used to stay awake and wonder
Praying for the day that I would find you
But now it's come true
And I swear I'm here to stay
And if you left me I would say
You are the one that got away
You are the one that I let go of
So please never run away
Because I never want to say
You are the one that got away
You are the one that I let go of
So please never run away
So please never run away
You are the one who got away
You are the one, the only one I can't let go of.
