The One That Got Away (Original)

One would assume that because this is my own song that I'd be able to play the entire thing through without making any mistakes or needing to edit after recording.
One would be wrong.
Excuse my sloppy editing but I was in a hurry to finish this because I'm EXTREMELY late for work right now!

Lyrics:

It's my second sleepless night
But I know that you were wrong and I was right
Yeah, it was my fault this time
And you say I'm paying the price for my crimes
But what the hell do you know?
You raised that flag so long ago
You couldn't have me ball and chain
So all you did was complain

That I'm a star gazer
A bit of a dream chaser
And I can't seem to keep my feet from lifting off the ground
So what I'm a rule breaker
I can be a trouble maker
But I'll do anything to keep my feet from being bound
No, I won't be held down

I was happy once I was free
All you wanted was to change me
I'm too reckless that was your claim
And you tried to make me tame

Cause I'm a star gazer
A bit of a dream chaser
And I can't seem to keep my feet from lifting off the ground
So what I'm a rule breaker
I can be a trouble maker
But I'll do anything to keep my feet from being bound
No, I won't be held down

You said we couldn't make it
You said that we were through
So here I am with my wings
And all you have is you
I couldn't be who you wanted
So you wouldn't let me stay
But in time you'll realize
I'm the one that got away

I'm the one that got away
and you'll say

She was that star gazer
A bit of a dream chaser
And she refused to keep her feet from lifting off the ground
She was a rule breaker
She could be a trouble maker
But she'd do anything to keep her feet from being bound
No, I couldn't keep her down

I couldn't keep her down
No, I can't be held down
