We've all got that someone Who slipped right through our hands An old t-shirt you still wear from time to time It felt so right, on lonely nights You wonder what could have been A heart you can't believe you left behind I wish you were the one that got away If you were a memory I might still be in love with you today It wouldn't hurt this bad if I was looking back on an old heartache Oh I wish you were the one that got away You walk through the door and reach for that first beer Hit the couch and turn the TV on And I wake-up beside you and wonder why I'm still here When everything we used to be is gone I wish you were the one that got away If you were a memory I might still be in love with you today Wouldn't hurt this bad if I was looking back on an old heartache Oh I wish you were the one that got away If you were just a picture I pulled out of my dresser To look at every now and then Something bittersweet Something I could keep and have fun remembering It wouldn't hurt this bad If I was looking back on an old heartache Oh I wish you were the one that got away Yeah I wish you were the one that got away
