There was a time
When we were hopelessly in love
I fell hard for you
I knew you felt the same way too
We were walking
Holding hands as we were talking
Suddenly I felt your touch was slipping away
Should've seen the subtle signs
The smiles, the stares
Were used to lure me in
I won't be a fool for you again
You were the one that got away
And you took my soul with you
Pulling at my heartstrings with your smile
Why'd you leave me all alone
I feel this emptiness inside
In an instant I am left to pick up all the pieces
No photographs to burn the memories of you
Pondering the possibilities of what could've been
Us together, and aiming towards forever
You left without a warning
Girl how should I have known
It seemed that we were doing oh so well
Couldn't find a way to reach you
No messages or letters
No call to say goodbye
It seems a part of me has gone
You saw me at my worst
I saw you at your best
We laughed, we cried made up again
And then I saw you leave
You were the one that got away
And you took my soul with you
Pulling at my heartstrings with your smile
Why'd you leave me all alone
I feel this emptiness inside
In an instant I am left to pick up all the pieces
No photographs to burn the memories of you
Pondering the possibilities of what could've been
Us together, and aiming towards forever
Was I blind, was I naive
'Cause I never saw it coming
From a mile away
But I know that I will be okay someday
You were the one that got away
And you took my soul with you
Pulling at my heartstrings with your smile
Why'd you leave me all alone
I feel this emptiness inside
In an instant I am left to pick up all the pieces
No photographs to burn the memories of you
Pondering the possibilities of what could've been
Us together, and aiming towards forever
It just wasn't meant to be
And I wasn't made for you
I thought it was us, together and aiming towards forever
Maybe you found somebody new
Now I bid you adieu
I'd rather turn the page
And flip to a different chapter
I see the stars come crashing down
On us
On us
On us
