i remember taking drives,
up near the seaside,
said you wanna be my bride,
said i made u laugh,
liked it when i did it like that,
when i said i love you,
you always said it back,
no AC, yep, we only had a fan,
it so damn hot, yet, we didn't give a damn,
i remember laying blankets on the sand,
i remember making out in the back of the van,
i never said "i'm sorry".
i really can't explain.
i really cannot say, that you had any blame,
'cause i was in the wrong,
and you were in the right,
i guess that's why....
you're the one that got away,
away, away,
you're the one that got away,
away, away,
you're the one
i never thought i'd be here,
i never thought it'd end,
the day you said goodbye,
i tried to pretend,
like you ain't mean nothing,
but i was just fronting.....
i guess that's why....
you're the one that got away,
away, away,
you're the one that got away,
away, away,
you're the one that got away,
i remember waving bye,
hoping you would't cry,
'cause i told so many lies,
twenty years have passed,
and i know,
you're never coming back,
last time i called,
you wouldn't hit me back,
now i see, yep,
i never should have ran,
i should have told the truth,
yep, i should have been a man,
i'm always building castles in the sand,
i never planned for the tide,
now it's high, and i'm damned.
i never said "i'm sorry".
i really can't explain.
i really cannot say, that you had any blame,
'cause i was in the wrong,
and you were in the right,
i guess that's why....
you're the one that got away,
away, away,
you're the one that got away,
away, away,
you're the one
i never thought i'd be here,
i never thought it'd end,
the day you said goodbye,
i tried to pretend,
like you ain't mean nothing,
but i was just fronting.....
i guess that's why....
you're the one that got away,
away, away,
you're the one that got away,
away, away,
you're the one that got away,
