I will always be here

You've got me in chains

You'll never let me be

You always will remain

In the face of another.

You know what you've done

You know very well

You set a trap for me

And baby I fell

For the love of you lover.

So don't turn around

Because there's nothing left to say

And I'll let you be

The one that got away.

And you can cut that string

And we can quit these games we play

And I'll let you be

The one that got away.

I should have known better

What a fool to be so blind

And now all I've got here

Is the mess you left behind

And the memory of a promise gone bad.

Now all the books have been read

And the case has been closed

And all fingers point to you

And everybody knows

So how's it feel to be the one who has been had.

So don't turn around

Because there's nothing left to say

And I'll let you be

The one that got away.

And you can cut that string

And we can quit these games we play

And I'll let you be

The one that got away

I know the moment I turn around

You'll want me back right away

And I'll always be the one that got away.
