Now you can't say we lasted longest
But was it better while it happened, be honest
Can't say I was the last one, but was I the most fun?
Before it was done?
You could fill the hole in your chest with a pretty blonde mess
But I know how you think. There's no need to confess
Or travel the country to get away from me
Just to find me in strangers you kiss in the taxi
Climb mountains, post pictures
And say "I don't miss her"
I know nothing's changed
I get texts when you're with her
You know that what ended should stay just that way
But it's hard to get over the one that got away
It's dead like perennials in the winter
It's gone like the sun disappearing at dusk
One day I'll really leave for good
And you'll wish you asked, "What about us?"
You could fill the hole in your chest with a pretty blonde mess
But I know how you think. There's no need to confess
Or travel the country to get away from me
Just to find me in strangers you kiss in the taxi
Climb mountains, post pictures
And say "I don't miss her"
I know nothing's changed
I get texts when you're with her
You know that what ended should stay just that way
But it's hard to get over the one that got away
The one that got away
