We had a story written in the stars
But somehow we drifted too far
Your laugh, your touch starts to linger on
In silence I hear your song
We were a moment that time couldn't hold
The fire that burned but the nights got cold
Now I'm standing here with memories
That stand of the one, the one who got away
You were almost forever, almost mine
Love like a whisper lost in time
You're the ghost in my shadow
The ache in my day
The one who got away
I replay the laughter, the things we do
But I can't be right in life without you
I try to move on but you're in my veins
Every road I take it whispers your name
And though we're apart, you're a part of me still
A love that no time or distance can kill
I'm chasing the echoes of what we became
Trying to let go, but it's never the same
You were almost forever, almost mine
A love like a whisper lost in time
You're the ghost in my shadow
The ache in my day
The one who got away
Maybe in another life we'd find the way back
Rewrite the ending, erase all the cracks
But in this life we're pages torn apart
Two souls and a book with a broken heart
You were almost forever, almost mine
A love like a whisper lost in time
I'll carry the hope, though I know you won't stay
You're the one who got away
Turn this to the love that could have been
To a story that will never begin again
I'll raise a glass to the stars and say
You were the one who got away
I'll raise a glass to the stars and say
You were the one who got away
