What can I say
To bring back the one that got away
Is there some hidden phrase
To get that one to stay
What do I do
To make the wishes come true
When there's nothing left to say
To the one that got away
Where do I go
When there is no comfort above or below
When the one that got away
Is all that you know
How will it end
When there are no more broken hearts to mend
When the one that got away
Refuses to even be a friend
I suppose there's always a time
When we run out of words to rhyme
And the one that got away
Is still fresh in our mind
Then we'll smile and say
"Yeah I knew there would come a day
When I'd have to encounter
The one that got away"
