One That Got Away
Jason Ross Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I talk about it too much
But it's the only thing to do
Tell me, do you still crave my touch
Or do you long for something new?

'Cause I've been in a daze
I can't look away, oh, from you
And I can see you've changed
I wonder if I've changed you too

I've had too many lonely days
Starin' at my phone, wishin' all this fade away
I wonder if you notice, babe
You're the only one that could make me feel this way
Yeah, I'm selfish
But I can't let you leave
Yeah, baby, if it's up to me
You will never be the one that got away

You will never be the one that got away
You will never be the one that got away

The opposite of innocent
But it's the only thing you know
And with you I feel infinite
Oh, I don't ever wanna go

'Cause I've been in a daze
I can't look away, oh, from you
And I can see you've changed
I wonder if I've changed you too

I've had too many lonely days
Starin' at my phone, wishin' all this fade away
I wonder if you notice, babe
You're the only one that could make me feel this way
Yeah, I'm selfish
But I can't let you leave
Yeah, baby, if it's up to me
You will never be the one that got away

You will never be the one that got away
You will never be the one that got away
You will never be, you will never be the one that got aw'
You will never be the one that got away




You will never be, you will never be the one that got aw'
You will never be the one that got away

Lyrics: Jason Ross, Dabin - One That Got Away (With Dylan Matthew)

[Verse 1: Dylan Matthew]
I know I talk about it too much
But it's the only thing to do
Tell me,β€…doβ€…you still craveβ€…my touch
Or do you long forβ€…something new?

[Bridge: Dylan Matthew]
'Cause I've been in a daze
I can't look away, oh, from you
And I can see you've changed
I wonder if I've changed you too

[Chorus: Dylan Matthew]
I've had too many lonely days
Staring at my phone, wishing all this pain away
I wonder if you notice, babe
You're the only one that could make me feel this way
It's selfish, but I can't let you leave
But baby, if it's up to me
You would never be the one that got away
You would never be the one that got away
You would never be the one that got away

[Verse 2: Dylan Matthew]
The opposite of innocent
But it's the only thing you know
And with you, I feel infinite
Oh, I don't ever want to go

[Bridge: Dylan Matthew]
'Cause I've been in a daze
I can't look away, oh, from you
And I can see you've changed
I wonder if I've changed you too

[Chorus: Dylan Matthew]
I've had too many lonely days
Staring at my phone, wishing all this pain away
I wonder if you notice, babe
You're the only one that could make me feel this way
It's selfish, but I can't let you leave
But baby, if it's up to me
You would never be the one that got away
You would never be the one that got away

You would never be the one that got away
You would never be the one that got away
You would never be the one that got away

I had to let her go. Today was the day that really hit me... I saw her, in the mall... Kissing with her friend... Now I reaaly now that this is the right time to let her go.

@iba.r.n

Yes and it was very painful to see them go... But since you love them you just let them go... It's call respecting other's decision πŸ˜‡
