THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY © D Martin. Sept 2010-09-07 [ Revised Jan’2013]
Even now it’s on your mind ‘though you say it isn’t so
Even though you think you’re free, there’s places you can’t go.
It’s still there, under your skin
Don’t go there, no one can win
CH. You’re hanging on like a drowning man
She’s got you trapped because she can
You’re holding tight-[ because]- You’re still afraid.
You let her go without a fight
The one you dream of every night
The one you think of every day-the one who got away.
The jewelled chalice holds no wine, there’s poison you can’t taste.
Just one sip will set you back, to a dark and desperate place
She’s still there, deep in your heart
If you go there, it’ll tear you apart
She pulls the string to watch you dance
But don’t believe you stand a chance-you won’t get close-[ you know]-She’ll make you pay
You let her go without a fight
The one you dream of every night, the one you think of every day- the One- Who got Away
M.8………………..
(If she calls you) She doesn’t call because she cares
(Don’t answer) It’s just because she knows you’re there
(She’ll hurt you) She jerks your chain(She cuts you deep)
(She will) [ Because] She knows you’ll play
You let her go without a fight, the one you dream of every night,
The one you think of every day- the One who got away.
{Alt lyrics}You make believe the fairytale off how it could have been
A glass illusion,see right through( there’s) too much time between
And then the calls you read too deep, you think it’s ‘cos she cares,
Between the lines you’ve gotta see, it’s cos she knows you’re there.
She’s got you- under her thumb
Forget her, she can’t be the one
