The One Who Got Away

Well, I saw you and I caught you

And I reeled you into dry land

And I cared for you, and I cradled you

And I nurtured you with my bare handsYou were the one who got away

Well, you spun around and you spiraled down

And I faltered in trying to catch you

And I bruised you, I had to throw you back

To the water to try and forget youAnd the tide rushed in and took you away

What could I do? What could I say?

Doesn't even matter now anyway

You were the one who got awayAnd I know I let you go

But you will always be the one?

Well, I had you and I held you

And I lost my chance, I failed you

And I can't go back, no, I can't jump in

I have no courage left to swim
