You've been on my mind
So, I said I'd find some time to let you know
I finally found it so,
Here goes nothing.
I must admit I've lied
But before I tell you why,
Please hear me out
You were a chance that I was too afraid of taking

This is it
This is all I have to say
I used to stay awake and wonder
Praying for the day when you would
Notice me, but now I'm slowly
Noticing that while you were my world,
You weren't the one
And now my searching days are done.

You never said you cared for me
You never told me anything
But the silence got me wondering
My curiosity,
It got the best of me.
You got the best of me.

This is it
This is all I have to say
I used to stay awake and wonder
Praying for the day when you would
Notice me, but now I'm slowly
Noticing that while you were my world,
You weren't the one
And now my searching days are done.

You are the one that got away
You are the one that I let go of,
I'm so glad you ran away,
Because I know I never could've
Told you face to face

I started thinking things were never gonna change,
That I would never find someone, 'cause it was far too late.
But then she showed up,
When I was let down.
I felt my heart jump.
She helped me up from the ground and said,

This is it,
This is all I have to say.
I used to stay awake and wonder
Praying for the day that I would find you
But now it's come true
And I swear I'm here to stay
And if you left me I would say,

You are the one that got away
You are the one I can't let go of
So please never run away,
Because I never want to say

You are the one who got away,
You are the one I can't let go of.
