​​​​​​the one that should’ve got away Lyrics – Nessa Barrett

{Verse 1}

Young and reckless
I was in bad boy heaven
God, I loved you
You're a death wish
I held it close and precious
God, I loved you

{Pre-Chorus}

If I knew then
What I know now
I would've never let you in
I would've burned it to the ground

{Chorus}

You're the one that should've got away (Got away)
You're the risk I wish I didn't take (Didn't take)
I should've known to say goodbye
Why did I hold on for the ride?
My mistake
You're the one that should've got away

{Verse 2}

Young and violent
Said I'm pretty when I'm cryin'
God, I hate you (God, I hate you)

{Pre-Chorus}

If I knеw then
What I know now
I would've nevеr let you in (You in)
I would've burned it to the ground

{Chorus}

You're the one that should've got away
You're the risk I wish I didn't take
I should've known to say goodbye
Why did I hold on for the ride?
My mistake
You're the one that should've got away

{Bridge}

Bad boy, bad boy lit the flame
Hand on the stove 'cause I like the pain
Got a lust for the devil by a different name
And I can't say no when he calls me "babe"

{Chorus}

You're the one that should've got away
You're the risk I wish I didn't take
I should've known to say goodbye
'Cause our love was suicide
My mistake
You're the one that should've got away
