The One Who Got Away (Foster Jen)

Well, I saw you and I caught you
 And I reeled you into dry land
 And I cared for you and I cradled you
 And I nurtured you with my bare hands

 You were the one who got away
 Well, you spun around and you spiraled down
 And I faltered in trying to catch you
 And I bruised you, I had to throw you back
 To the water to try and forget you
 And the tide rushed in and took you away

 What could I do? What could I say?
 Doesn't even matter now anyway
 You were the one who got away
 And I know I let you go
 But you will always be the one?

 Well, I had you and I held you
 And I lost my chance, I failed you
 And I can't go back, no, I can't jump in
 I have no courage left to swim

 You were the one
 You were the one who got away
 You were the one, the one who got away
 You were the one, the one who got away
 You were the one, the one who got away
 got away, got away
