Jen Foster - The One Who Got Away lyrics

rate me

Well, I saw you and I caught you

And I reeled you into dry land

And I cared for you and I cradled you

And I nurtured you with my bare hands

You were the one who got away

Well, you spun around and you spiraled down

And I faltered in trying to catch you

And I bruised you, I had to throw you back

To the water to try and forget you

And the tide rushed in and took you away

What could I do? What could I say?

Doesn't even matter now anyway

You were the one who got away

And I know I let you go

But you will always be the one?

Well, I had you and I held you

And I lost my chance, I failed you

And I can't go back, no, I can't jump in

I have no courage left to swim

You were the one

You were the one who got away

You were the one, the one who got away

You were the one, the one who got away

You were the one, the one who got away

got away, got away
