and suddenly all the love songs were about you;

the one that got away; Katy Perry

Summer after high school when we first met

We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead

And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof

Talk about our future like we had a clue

Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

In another life

I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises

Be us against the world

In another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away

The one that got away

I was June and you were my Johnny Cash

Never one without the other, we made a pact

Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on

Someone said you had your tattoo removed

Saw you downtown singing the blues

It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse

But in another life

I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises

Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay

So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

All this money can't buy me a time machine, no

Can't replace you with a man in rings, no

I should've told you what you meant to me

'Cause now I pay the price...
