The One That Got Away (Acoustic) Lyrics

"The One That Got Away (Acoustic)"

(originally by Katy Perry)

Summer after high school, when we first met

We'd make out in my Mustang to Radiohead

And on my eighteenth birthday, we got matching tattoos

Used to steal my parents' liquor and climb to the roof

Talked about our future like we had a clue

Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

In another life, you would be my 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

You were June, and I was 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, I was singing the blues

It's time to face the music, you're no longer my muse

In another life, you would be my 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 things, no

I should've told you what you meant to me, whoa

'Cause now I pay the price

In another life, you would be my 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
