Dark of Night

I thought I got away with it
now I know that it's not true
not taking away more than I came with
not leaving with anything new

I thought I was so coy
didn't think you'd see the light
thought that things ran deeper
in the dark of night

I thought I got away with it
that I had stolen your heart
silly me it was all fantasy
from the very start

I think when you look back
when now is yesterday
I'll always be your one
your one that got away
