Lyrics

You look good
And your hair is full
And I know it’s inappropriate
But I’m sad without you
I still think about you
The one that got away

I gave you a hug
You looked in my eyes
And you said I gave you butterflies
Now I’m sad without you
I still dream about you
The one that got away

We don't need each other like we used to long ago
You got someone to approve you
Good job, way to go
When we had that hurricane
Someone's notebook blew away
But I don’t think it’s mine
I think it’s yours

When we had that hurricane
Someone's notebook blew away
But I don’t think it’s mine
I think it’s yours

You look good
And your hair is full
And I know it’s inappropriate
But I’m sad without you
I still think about you
The one that got away
But I’m sad without you
I still dream about you
The one that got away
