The One That Got Away

You were always there for me

Lingering in the distant echo 

Releasing my heart and lungs from being narrow

Breathing air into me, saving me, becoming my hero

But that was before you left me stranded

Broken promises of never leaving me abandoned

Stealing my heart and shooting me down like a bandit

You got high off of my foolishness

And I was too dumb to see it

I was a fool for sticking around

Trying to make sense of a muted sound

Walking unloaded to a battleground

Your presence was something I craved

Your touch, your glance, kept me enslaved

But now that you are gone, i'm saved

You are the one that got away
