Lyrics

Not old enough to know, too young to take it slow
I sat at every barstool in this town
My friends grew up and wed, said the party had to end
But me, I never learned to turn it down
Now every night around this time, I give in to my own lies
Just one more, after all, what difference does it make?
And through my drunken haze, I accept what I can't change
I remember the one who got away

I used to be happy, I used to be free
But now that bottle, it's got it's ice cold grip on me
I used to shine golden, now I fade away
So I'll keep drinking 'til I forget about the one who got away

Don't know what day it was, who cares, what's done is done
Like a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea
Don't try and pull me up, it's too late I've given up
It turns out I'm right where I want to be
I remember how you'd plead
You said, one day you're going to leave
And I'd just try and find the right words to say
I know I let you go, but everybody knows
That I'm the one, the one who got away

I used to be happy, I used to be free
But now that bottle, it's got it's ice cold grip on me
I used to shine golden, now I fade away
So I'll keep drinking 'til I forget about the one who got away
Yes I'll keep drinking 'til I forget about the one who got away
