Hunter Hayes - The One That Got Away Lyrics

I'm not a criminal
Oh no, oh no
But I felt like a prisoner
For so long, so long
And all I ever wanted
Was to love and to be loved, yeah
So what did I do to you
So wrong, so wrong

'Cause you broke so much more than just a promise
When you made me believe I wasn't wanted
I could miss you like you want but if I'm honest

I feel like the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better cause I'm better now
In the middle of the night
Made it to the other side
You can run but you can't catch me now
I'm the one that got away
Yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah

Turns out you're not a god
All the faith that I gave to you
Silence is all I got
And I hate that I prayed to you

All the chains that I couldn't break
The games that I couldn't play
'Cause you'd always win them anyway
Never thought there would come a day
Where I'd be safe and safe enough to say

That I'm the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better cause I'm better now
In the middle of the night
Made it to the other side
You can run but you can't catch me now
I'm the one that got away
Yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah

Is it worth the price I paid for staying
I gave it all you gave it all away and now I'm
Taking back the piece of me you wasted

I'm the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better cause I'm better now

In the middle of the night
Made it to the other side
You can run but you can't catch me now
I'm the one that got away
Yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah
I'm the one that got away
Yeah
