I was suspicious about you
I had your love
The greatest love I ever knew
But you never took me in like I needed
I'd catch you crying for no reason but the truth

And now the one that got away
Came back today
And he took your love right out from under me
I guess I knew you'd always loved him
But you never did say
And now the one that got away
Came back today
Now I'm helpless with nothin' left to lose
Gone from lover to yesterday's news
And if I ask myself truly if you ever loved me
Oh, the answer it would kill me
So I'll drink off the memory
Till the wine leads me all the way through

Because the one that got away
Came back today
And he took your love right out from under me
I guess I knew you'd always loved him
It was in your lyin' eyes
Silly me I didn't mind
He was only a name we didn't say
But the one that got away
Came back today
The one that got away
Came back today
