The One That Got Away Lyrics

(Lambert, Nelson, Gaudette)

It's more than I can handle,
much more than I can take,
You never feel the fire
'til you lose the love you make,
I should've seen it comin',
now that I'm in deeper than I've ever been,
she's soundin' like a stranger,
and I'm afraid I've done it to myself again, oh...

Chorus:
Sittin' here all through the night,
losin' this fight,
don't let her be the one that got away,
things I should have said keep runnin' through my head,
and I'm the fool that's missin' her today,
I can't believe this is happening to me,
can't let the girl turn out to be the one that got away.
Long distance conversations,
a thousand miles from home,
don't satisfy the hunger
when you're feelin' so alone,
now it may be too late,
she won't forget the way I treated her,
could've been so easy
all I had to do was
say I needed her, oh...
(Chorus)

I knew there'd be trouble,
the day I left town,
I never thought this could take me
take me down, oh ...

(Chorus)
