The One That Got Away, by Lillian Subscribe to rss feed for Lillian

Wishing I hadn't left you at home
I'd gladly return and bear the snow
Sure I could stay here and learn alone
But loving you is all I care to know

Crying when I'm alone at night
You're on my mine from the eve to daylight
I try so hard to forget everything
I just can't bear to live without you in my life

The next time I'm near you again
I won't know where to begin
But I'll tell you just how much I love you
And that mine is love for you that will never end

I'll remember to kiss you slowly
At times rare I will enjoy how you hold me
Each moment I share with you
I will be in it with you only

I'm so lonely without you around
It's odd to feel lost when you made me so sound
And even at the slightest implications of care
You make me feel much less down

I don't know how I'll live 67 more days alone
Waiting for your name to appear on my phone
Clinging to your every little word
Hoping by Christmas I'll have you for my own

I can't just forget what we went through
I have to tell you the truth
I never should have gone to Idaho
Because I am in love with you

I don't know what else to say
You're The One That Got Away
You were everything I've ever dreamed of
And running off was my biggest mistake
