Lyrics The One That Got Away - WhoHurtYou

The One That Got Away

Summer after high school when we first met
Make out in my Mustang to Radiohead
And on my eighteenth birthday we got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about the future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I’d be losing you
In another life, you would be my girl
We’d keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
You were June, and I was Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa
Someone said you got your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown, singing the blues
It’s time to face the music, I’m no longer your muse
In another life, you would be my girl
We’d keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
