Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Oh '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
[Verse 3]
I feel like the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better 'cause I'm better now
[Verse 4]
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
I'm the one that got away
[Verse 5]
Turns out you're not a god
All the faith that I gave to you
The silence is all I got
And I hate that I prayed to you
[Verse 6]
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 saved and safe enough to say that
[Verse 7]
I'm the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better 'cause I'm better now
[Verse 8]
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
I'm the one that got away
[Verse 9]
Is it worth the price I paid for staying?
I gave it all, you gave it all away and now
I'm takin' back the piece of me you wasted
[Verse 10]
'Cause I'm the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better 'cause I'm better now
[Verse 11]
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
I'm the one that got away
I'm the one that got away
I'm the one that got away
