The One Who Got Away

Why in the hell are you still here
After all these years
Why are you haunting me
But yet making me want to dry my tears

Lately I've been thinking
About you every day
And I keep on saying
You are the one who got away

After all this time
Why would you talk to me
Either you are really bored
Or you feel the same as me

Thoughts of you just blow my mind
Are you here for the long haul
Are you my knight in Armor
Will you catch me when I fall

Can your strong shoulders support me
As I change my life
For I am not just a girlfriend
I am a mother and a wife

I am committed to a man
Who does not love me all that much
No matter how I have tried
He is so out of touch

My heart has truly sunken
Like a ship out in a storm
I have nothing left to give
It's time for me to move on

Although I live my life everyday
I am absent of ambition
I need someone to help me
Accomplish my greatest mission

Help me be the woman
That I know I am within
Give me a reason to conquer
Give me life again

I feel like I am dead
In this world around me
I need someone by my side
Who can somehow find me

I need to take back my life
I need to gain control
I am too strong to surrender
To a cold and lonely soul

I am a strong woman
Independent and true
It is time that I am honest
To my inner self and to you

I admit I am weak
When it comes to affairs of the heart
For I have been so cold
Since you and I have been apart

How can ten years pass
And I just now admit
That I have never felt a love
That I could not forget

I need you by my side
For the rest of my life
Please tell me you still feel the same
And that you want to hold me tonight

I am independent
But I am still alone
I can stand my ground in daylight
But at night I need a home

I need someone to support me
Someone to cheer me on
Someone to let me chase my dreams
And to be there when they are torn

I need you to love me
Please don't walk away
Somehow can you find it in you
To promise that you'll stay

Can you be my forever
Can you love me so much
Can you stop me from feeling
Like I am out of touch

I absolutely need romance
I need to hold a man
I need to feel wanted
From someone who understands

I cannot be satisfied
If I live life absent of love
I am sure I can be successful
In can rise above

Please stay in my life
I need one more dance
I have so much to give you
Please grant me one more chance

I promise I can give you
All you ever need
Everyday I will focus on
Making you believe

Because you and I are meant to be
No matter what people say
You are my one true love
The one who got away!
