Allister – The One That Got Away lyrics

you left a guy who told you where to be and when
i was with a girl who tried to sleep with my best friend
we both took comfort in each other's messy lives
finding warmth on that cold november night

we swore it'd be years before we brought that on again
days later you said that we should be more than just friends
i let my guard down cuz the feelings were so strong
but acted stupid and thats when he came along

CHORUS:
its been so long, i should just move on
there's other fish in the sea
but i keep hoping you'll swim back home to me

we'd sneak out and go swimming late at night
you're one of few who can say they've seen me cry
you've got my quirkiness and awkward sense of humor
we shared simpson quotes and started made up rumors

if night turned into day you'd hide me from your mom
i could never fight with you cuz you were never wrong
this time especially the blame is all on me
if i'd not screwed things up i wonder where we'd be

CHORUS:
it's been so long, i should just move on
there's other fish in the sea
but i keep hoping you'll swim back home to me

one day for no reason
i broke our date
so you made other plans that day
and that's when you met him
and why you're still with him today

it's been so long, i should just move on
there's other fish in the sea
but i keep hoping you'll swim back home to-
i'm just glad i got a chance to know you
you'll forever be the one that got away
