The One Who Got Away

When I met you, sadness seemed a world away
 Behind a wall of flowers and wedding vows
 And dreams fulfilled
 When you took my hand and made a thousand promises
 It seemed like nothing could intrude upon our happiness
 It's a funny old world
 Nothing works out how you think
 Circumstances change the scene in a blink
 And you find you're looking back at yesterday
 I thought I saw a glimpse of you the other day
 A trick of the light, out the corner of my eye, retreating
 A trick of my mind, where you will always live on
 A little part of me, a part I can't let go of quickly
 It's a funny old world, nothing works out how you think
 And circumstances change the scene in a blink
 And you find you're looking back at yesterday
 It's a funny old world, full of surprises you can't escape
 Where you least expect it, here comes a plot twist you'd rather erase
 You are the one who got away and I'm left here
 It's a funny old world, full of surprises you can't escape
 Where you least expect it, here comes a plot twist you'd rather erase
 You are the one who got away
 The one who promised me he'd stay
 That I'd do anything to save
 The one who no-one can replace
 You are the one who got away
 And I'm left here
