Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never meant to get us in this deep
I never meant for this to mean a thing
Oh, I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
[Verse 2]
I got caught up by the chase
And you got high on every little game
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
[Verse 3]
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing, gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
[Verse 4]
I miss the way you wanted me
When I was stayin' just out of your reach
Beggin' for the slightest touch
Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm
[Verse 5]
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing, gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
[Verse 6]
Got away from me
Got away from me
'Fore anybody has to bleed
[Verse 7]
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing, gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
I wish you were the one
Oh, I wish you were the one
I wish you were the one that got away
