the one that should’ve got away Lyrics
[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)
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
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
