The One That Left Me Behind

You were the one that got away from my grasp angrily You said your apologies, but face the music I promised you and I would be truly free from captivity You aren't replaceable...your tune is so therapeutic You were the one that got away from my embrace You said your goodbyes and left without a trace I wiped my tears of grief and seek total relief I am but a single fall leaf, floating in your reef You took advantage of me and you still don't care You're only playing the dumb game of truth and dare Good feelings fade away the moment you walk away from my presence These emotions are so intense that I must release them in a sense Caught myself thinking of you all night and day Shot myself in the head with dread and dismay I find my lost soul in the river of tears I've been frozen in my childish fears Loneliness is the only thing that loves me back Feelings of satisfaction is what I actually lack The pressure of the world makes my lips quiver It also makes my hopeless heart beat so much harder You were the one that got away I was the one that got away today The gray of today makes me feel numb and quite depressed to be honest I'm trying my best to spread my wings and soar in the misery-bound mist I was pretending that you were the one that was found in my arms of love I was thinking of a happily ever after, but that wouldn't be enough for me to build strength to fly up above You were the one that got away from the room of doom I am the one that assumed that you're gone because of me and my gloom I've been searching all around for you You just disappeared out of the blue Are you really the one that got away? Are you now shining bright like the day? I'm a deep shade of black You're the shade of green and blue I'm really wanting you back Who knew you'd be the one that got away without a clue Where have you been? Are you gone forever in the wilderness of shame? I can't describe how speechless and enraged I am - this is lame Have you left again? Are you the one that got away and placed the blame on me? You know, I don't want to played with like a game
