You were the quiet one
Afraid to sleep alone
Heaven knows, I was lonely too

Some things in life a man
Can't learn to live without
One of those things was you


Who the good guys are
Who the bad guys are

Isn't always clear
In this world of separate houses
Someone's always missing someone

Day after day
And year after year


Though you and I are distant
Don't ever think I didn't want you
Or miss you every day

No matter where life takes you
Know that I'll still be waiting patiently
For the day that you've forgiven me

My son
The One That Got Away


It's all of the little things
That add up to a life
'N it's been so hard

Being outside looking in
You had hundreds of first times
I didn't get to see

That will never come again

How do we catch up

Is there just too much
Stolen history
In this world of separate houses

I want you to remember
That you'll always be
Inside of me


Though you and I are distant
Don't ever think I didn't want you

Or miss you every day
No matter where life takes you
Know that I'll still be waiting patiently

For the day that you've forgiven me
My son
The One That Got Away


You're carryin' an anger
That does not belong to you

'N I'm sick and tired of doin' time
For a crime I didn't do


I miss you every day
No matter where life takes you
Know that I'll still be waiting patiently

'Cause I do believe in you and me
And I trust that someday
You'll no longer be

The One That Got Away
