Lyrics

I often think. What I should have done
On the brink of what it could become
And all the moves that I should have made
It only proves it could not be saved
So now I'm spending too much precious time
Trying to keep my thoughts in line
Wishing I could keep my mind at bay
And now I pray somehow someway she could have stayed
The one that got away

We had it all or so I guess I thought
We always laughed and we never fought
It always seemed we would always be
I never dreamed she would ever leave
So now I'm living too much in the past
Wondering why it didn't last
How could it have ended up so fast
I didn't know the price that I would pay
The one that got away

The life we lived, she would need much more
Than I would give, wasn't keeping score
There was a lack, that she felt inside
I can't go back, even though I tried
So now I'm watching her with someone else
Knowing it should be myself
Never want to feel the way I felt
I can't let it be that as it may
I pray somehow someway she could have stayed
I didn't know the price that I would pay
The one that got away
