The One That Got Away (His Version)
In another life
I would be your boy
We'd be holding onto this
The love that I destroyed
In another life
I wouldn't run away
You wouldn't have to say "I was the one that should've stayed"
The one that should've stayed
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
How many times would it take 'til I break this self-destructive cycle?
I hate it, I take something special and toss it away
When I get too close, I think I feel afraid
Maybe the loneliness is always the place I feel at home the most
With the songs I never wrote
I fucked up 100 times
I hope you know I never tried to hurt you
Someone said you're doing fine alone
So
In another life
I would be your boy
We'd be holding onto this
The love that I destroyed
In another life
I wouldn't run away
You wouldn't have to say "I was the one that should've stayed"
The one that should've stayed
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
The one that should've stayed
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
I would be your boy
We'd be holding onto this
The love that I destroyed
In another life
I wouldn't run away
You wouldn't have to say "I was the one that should've stayed"
The one that should've stayed
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
How many times would it take 'til I break this self-destructive cycle?
I hate it, I take something special and toss it away
When I get too close, I think I feel afraid
Maybe the loneliness is always the place I feel at home the most
With the songs I never wrote
I fucked up 100 times
I hope you know I never tried to hurt you
Someone said you're doing fine alone
So
In another life
I would be your boy
We'd be holding onto this
The love that I destroyed
In another life
I wouldn't run away
You wouldn't have to say "I was the one that should've stayed"
The one that should've stayed
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
The one that should've stayed
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
Wah-ah-oh-oh
