Lyrics

Did you ever lay awake
Just counting each mistake
Where'd they go, you don't understand
All the schemes and all the plans
Must have slipped right through your hands

That's when it all begins again
And she comes creeping in again
It's be ten years since she left you behind
You toss and turn but still you find
You can't get her off your mind

When she walked out that door
It only made you love her more
and more and more and more
Now your world keeps turning
And your heart keeps yearning
The flame's still burning till this very day
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away

If she'd just come back, if she'd only stayed
Then you'd forgive her all the games she played
How she ran that love around
All over the town
From sundown to sundown

Though she broke every rule
And played you for the king of fools
Selective memory
Will only let you see
The love that used to be

When she walked out that door
It only made you love her more
and more and more and more
Now your world keeps turning
And your heart keeps yearning
The flame's still burning till this very day
Ain't never gonna feel better, you just can't forget her
She's the one that got away
She's the one that got away
