Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m the one
Who opened up, ready for a connection
I’m the one
Brave enough to say how I was feeling
I’m the one waiting by the phone
The one who is home alone
‘Til I realized you were only messing around
Yeah, you played it like a game
Never called it by its name
Isn’t it a shame how

[Chorus]
Now I’m the one that got away
The kiss you never tasted
Tell me that you hate it
Hate that I’m no longer in your reach
If I can’t hear you say it
Maybe you can’t change it, but if you never
If you never put it on the line
How am I gonna sign for it?
Yeah, you never
You never let me know I’m what you want
Maybe that’s why I’m the one
The one that got away
The kiss you never tasted
Now I’m the one that got away
Tell me that you hate it

[Verse 2]
I’m the one
Who’s crying over you in a bath on the weekend
But I’m the one
Who isn’t scared to doubt any love on the deep end
You’re the one lying to your friends
You’re the one who can’t pretend
That there are no consequences to what you do
But the truth is that it’s costly
Baby, ’cause you lost me
Soon enough you’re gonna see

[Chorus]
That I’m the one that got away
The kiss you never tasted
Tell me that you hate it
Hate that I’m no longer in your reach
If I can’t hear you say it
Maybe you can’t change it, but if you never (If you never, if you never)
If you never put it on the line
How am I gonna sign for it?
Yeah, you never
You never let me know I’m what you want
Maybe that’s why

[Bridge]
The one that got away
The kiss you never tasted
Tell me that you hate it
Hate that I’m no longer in your reach (Your reach)
If I can’t hear you say it
Maybe you can’t change it, but if you never

[Chorus]
If you never put it on the line
How am I gonna sign for it?
Yeah, you never
You never let me know I’m what you want
Maybe that’s why I’m
The one that got away
The kiss you never tasted
Now I’m the one that got away
Tell me that you hate it
