The One That Got Away

The One That Got Away

Verse 1

You're as lovely as a rose

That I want to pluck out of the ground

Place inside a box and throw into the sea

Watch it drift away

And be glad by what I've done

Verse 2

What you presented to me was nothing more than a dream

A fantasy concocted in your laboratory

I was your experiment

Someone to observe and analyze

My flesh and my bones were not seen as important to you

Wants and needs were driven underground

I was swallowed whole and rolled around inside you

Verse 3

I'm the one who got away from your influence

From all that you have created

Chains were broken and new thoughts are forming

All my senses are revitalized

I never knew that I could be vibrant

Chorus

Broken promises led to the realization 

That you were being truthful about yourself

At that point, denial ran its course

You captured the spotlight as I viewed from the sidelines

It was like I was a trinket for your shallow life

So I become the one that got away
