The One That Got Away

Katy Perry

    Continues after the ad

    Summer after high school, when we first met
    We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
    And on my eighteenth birthday we got matching tattoos
    Used to steal your parent's liquor and climb to the roof
    Talk about our future like we had a clue
    Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

    In another life, I would be your girl
    We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world
    In another life, I would make you stay
    So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
    The one that got away

    I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
    Never one without the other, we made a pact
    Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa
    Someone said you had your tattoo removed
    Saw you downtown, singing the blues
    It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse

    In another life, I would be your girl
    We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world
    In another life, I would make you stay
    So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
    The one that got away

    The one
    The one
    The one
    The one that got away

    All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
    Can't replace you with a million rings, no
    I should have told you what you meant to me, whoa
    'Cause now I pay the price

    In another life, I would be your girl
    We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world
    In another life, I would make you stay
    So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
    The one that got away

    The one (the one)
    The one (the one)
    The one (the one)

    In another life, I would make you stay
    So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
    The one that got away
