the one who got away

i caught a glimpse of you through the window of my house

you were soon my spouse

not for long

i thought i was strong


we fell in love when we were only young

we sung

we danced through the park

you really left a mark


those caramel eyes

and that goddamn smile

i wish i could say you were mine


you left me standing alone

it was all so sudden

guess you've flown too


where have you gone?

at the crack of dawn


i waited for you

you never came back


a glimpse of happiness

you filled me up with laughter


now i'm filled with tears and pain

i wish i could restrain


but you left a stain

on my heart

and i can't ever remove it


you took away my soul

walked out the door

carrying my heart in one hand 

and the other, your bags


i'm scarred and heartbroken

i knew when it was too late

that i loved you

i loved you then, i love you now

always have and always will
