We've all got that someoneWho slipped right through our handsAn old t-shirt you still wear from time to timeIt felt so right, on lonely nightsYou wonder what could have beenA heart you can't believe you left behindI wish you were the one that got awayIf you were a memoryI might still be in love with you todayIt wouldn't hurt this bad if I was looking back on an old heartacheOh I wish you were the one that got awayYou walk through the door and reach for that first beerHit the couch and turn the TV onAnd I wake-up beside you and wonder why I'm still hereWhen everything we used to be is goneI wish you were the one that got awayIf you were a memoryI might still be in love with you todayWouldn't hurt this bad if I was looking back on an old heartacheOh I wish you were the one that got awayIf you were just a pictureI pulled out of my dresserTo look at every now and thenSomething bittersweetSomething I could keep and have fun rememberingIt wouldn't hurt this badIf I was looking back on an old heartacheOh I wish you were the one that got awayYeah I wish you were the one that got away
