I remember when we were young and naive
Bright-eyed dreamers
Caught in make-believe
We had it all
But we let it slip away
Now I'm left here with the memories of yesterday
Every night
I replay it in my mind
The way you smiled
The way you laughed
So kind
But reality came crashing down on me
Now I'm stuck here
Caught in this bittersweet fantasy
You were the one that got away (got away)
A love I wish had stayed (wish had stayed)
But now I'm left chasing shadows in the dark
I keep holding on
But you're so far apart, far apart
In the silence of the night, shadows linger on
Whispers of a love that's faded, now it's gone
Searching for a glimmer in the darkened skies
But all I find are remnants of our sweet goodbyes
We painted our futures in hues of gold and blue
But time has washed away the dreams we thought were true
You were the one that got away (got away)
A love I wish had stayed (wish had stayed)
But now I'm left chasing shadows in the dark
I keep holding on
But you're so far apart, far apart
You were the one that got away
A love I wish had stayed (wish had stayed)
But now I'm left chasing shadows in the dark
I keep holding on
But you're so far apart, far apart
