Thank you

The one that got away

How very cliché

You never really got away we're just estranged

Never really ran from me

This is just a game

The one that got away

How very cliché

Thank you to the ones

That kept my seat warm

They don't know you

They don't know me

What we were,

or what we could have become

Thank you to your new ones

Who are trying to stand on

What we already stood upon

The one that got away

How very cliché

You never really got away we're just estranged

Never really ran from me

This is just a game

The one that got away

How very cliché

Thank you to the ones

That kept my seat warm

They don't know you

They don't know me

What we were,

or what we could have become

Thank you to your new ones

Who are trying to stand on

What we already stood upon
