i tried to be the one, tried to give you what you need,
i thought we had it all but i couldn't really see,
i should have been there before, yeah,
'cos you needed me more (yeah yeah yeah),

i'm sorry girl i tried, but i know i let you down,
when you needed me most, baby i wasn't around,
wish i was there before, oh yeah,
'cos now i'm needing you more,
and it's something that i can't ignore.

i feel so empty, i feel all alone,
i'm living in misery (living in misery),
i can't help but regret that day, an angel beside me,
the one that got away,
you can't forgive the things i've done,
and i wouldn't ask you to (i wouldn't ask you to),
no-one can ever take your place (no-one), i'll always belong to you,
the one that got away.

come back (oh), come back (oh),
come back, come back to me,
the one that got away.

now when i'm looking back girl, it's easy to see,
you never let me down, always believed in me,
i should have cherished you more (i should have cherished you babe),
instead of closing the door (no),

and now i'm here all by myself, my heart is screaming out for help,
this endless pain inside of me, will always remain,
you're the one i adore (adore),
i should have loved you more, more.

i feel so empty (i feel), i feel all alone,
i'm living in misery (i'm living in misery),
i can't help but regret that day, an angel beside me,
the one that got away,
you can't forgive the things i've done,
and i wouldn't ask you to (i wouldn't ask you to),
no-one can ever take your place, i'll always belong to you,
the one that got away.

and all i have is a faded picture, broken memories of you,
come back, come back to me, come back to me, come back to me,
the one that got away.

i feel so empty, i feel all alone,
i'm living in misery (baby),
i can't help but regret that day (i'm sorry babe, my angel),
an angel beside me (beside me),
the one that got away,
you can't forgive the things i've done (forgive),
and i wouldn't ask you to (i wouldn't ask you to),
no-one can ever take your place (no-one), i'll always belong to you,
the one that got away.
