Mercy give, mercy take from me
Everyone, everyday, every night, everything from me
My soul to keep getting weak
'Cause she gives me the sun and the rain
And then she's gone like a dream in the morning
I could swear she was calling my name
Over and over, over and over

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I should finna' forget you
I'm just getting older and older and older
When I need you you're gone
When I need you you're gone
And I keep getting colder
The more I look over my shoulder
The symptom of being alone

[Chorus]
I know that I owe everything in my life that I love
To the one that got away
Like a ghost, like a wind to the flame (gone, gone)
Another day
I want, I want the one that got away
All the nights that I counted, the days (gone, gone)
No other way
Around it, around the world
And I've been for you
Anyone, anywhere
And I know that you felt it too
The way that I was feeling you
Like you give me the sun and the rain when you stay, but you leave all the same
Could've sworn you were calling my name
Over and over, over and over

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I should finna' forget you
I'm just getting older and older and older
When I need you, you're gone
When I need you, you're gone
And I keep getting colder the more I look over my shoulder
The symptom of being alone

[Chorus]
I know that I owe everything in my life that I love
To the one that got away
Like a ghost, like a wind to the flame (gone, gone)
Another day
I want, I want the one that got away
All the nights that I counted, the days (gone, gone)
No other way

Around it
I wanna be where you want me to be
What you want out of me, I don't care
Take the life out of me, I don't care
I don't need any air
And I swear
I don't need any air
Yeah I swear
I owe everything that I love to the one that got away
Like a ghost, like a wind to the flame (Gone, gone)
Another day

I want, I want the one that got away
All the nights that I counted
The days, (Gone, gone)

No other way
That I owe everything in my life to ya
Yeah, everything I love to ya
Everything that ruined me to ya
Yeah, and now I know that I owe everything in my life to ya
Yeah, to my
Ay, uh
