The One That Got Away lyrics

If I, I could be anyone, could I, I be your only one?

If I, I could be anything could I be the secret that you keep

Breath that you breathe your dreams while you sleep?

If you, if you could read my mind

Then you, you'd now I crossed that line

I'd make you my Valentine

I can't let you go but I know

That this ring is there to remind

So let's re-enact that scene

From what's his name's one act play

I'll be your hero and you'll be the one who got away

Now I'm chasing headlights back home

And you, you're sitting there on your own

When we were sippin' martinis

I started believing I wouldn't be leaving alone

When I told you a joke and you laughed

When I asked you to dance

You said there's no band, there's no radio

I got up real slow, started singing real low

When I was melting in your arms I had to let go

So let's re-enact that scene

From what's his name's one act play

I'll be your hero and you'll be the one

If there was no tomorrow

There were no yesterdays

The stolen moments we've borrowed

We wouldn't let slip away

So let's re-enact that scene

From what's his name's one act play

I'll be your hero

So let's re-enact that scene until our dying day

I'll be the hero and you can the one

Yeah, you could be the one that got away
