You've been on my mind

So, I said I'd find some time to let you know

I finally found it so, 

Here goes nothing.

I must admit I've lied

But before I tell you why, 

Please hear me out

You were a chance that I was too afraid of taking



This is it

This is all I have to say

I used to stay awake and wonder

Praying for the day when you would

Notice me, but now I'm slowly

Noticing that while you were my world, 

You weren't the one

And now my searching days are done.



You never said you cared for me

You never told me anything

But the silence got me wondering

My curiosity, 

It got the best of me.

You got the best of me.



This is it

This is all I have to say

I used to stay awake and wonder

Praying for the day when you would

Notice me, but now I'm slowly

Noticing that while you were my world, 

You weren't the one

And now my searching days are done.



You are the one that got away

You are the one that I let go of, 

I'm so glad you ran away, 

Because I know I never could've

Told you face to face



I started thinking things were never gonna change, 

That I would never find someone, 'cause it was far too late.

But then she showed up, 

When I was let down.

I felt my heart jump.

She helped me up from the ground and said, 



This is it, 

This is all I have to say.

I used to stay awake and wonder

Praying for the day that I would find you

But now it's come true

And I swear I'm here to stay

And if you left me I would say, 



You are the one that got away

You are the one I can't let go of

So please never run away, 

Because I never want to say



You are the one who got away, 

You are the one I can't let go of.
