Molly Jean - The One Who Got Away

You had me out of my mind
Had me thinking that I didn't deserve your affection
What kind of man makes a woman cry
Had me scared to look in the mirror at my reflection
Told me you were the best I'd ever get
Lit me up and put me out like your cigarette
How long did you think that I could handle that
Oh and I can honestly say
I was the one who got away
And now you're looking for me in every girl that gives you attention
And I bet that you wish you hadn't treated me that way
'Cause now I'm gonna show you all the things you're gonna be missing
Same old games and that same old town
You built me up to break me down and loving you my sweetest affliction
I bet you thought that I would always be around
Thank god I realized who I was
What you were calling love was fiction
What's it like now that I've gone away
I bet you miss having someone there night and day
You made your bed and now that's where you have to lay
Oh and I can honestly say
I was the one who got away
And now you're looking for me in every girl that gives you attention
And I bet that you wish you hadn't treated me that way
'Cause now I'm gonna show you all the things you're gonna be missing
Same old games and that same old town
And now I know, you were nothing but a waste of time
And darling I should have known
All you ever did was try to tear me down
But now you're alone
Oh and I can honestly say
I was the one who got away
And now you're looking for me in every girl that gives you attention
And I bet that you wish you hadn't treated me that way
'Cause now I'm gonna show you all the things you're gonna be missing
