Lyrics
The other day spent inside my head Should probably go and do something instead But what's the point when you're so far away I'm crippled by the things I want to say Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I love you and there's no way you can know What I'm trying to convey Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I love you and there's no way you can know You're the one that got away Another week spent inside these walls Waiting patiently for you to call Pretty sure the phone may never ring Well maybe you'll just hear me when I sing Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I love you and there's no way you can know What I'm trying to convey Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I love you and there's no way you can know You're the one that got away
