THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
By
Katy Perry
***************
Summer after high school when we first met
We make up in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents’ liquor
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
like we had a clue
Never plan that one day
I’d be losing you
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises
Be us against the world
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the Blues
Its time to face the music
I’m no longer your muse
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises
Be us against the world
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
The one that got away
[Bridge:]
All these money can’t buy me a time machine (Nooooo)
Can’t replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)
I shoulda told you what you meant to me (Woooooow)
Cause now I pay the price
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises
Be us against the world
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
DAISIES
***************
Told them your dreams and they all started laughing
I guess you’re out of your mind till it actually happens
I’m the small town
One in seven billion
Why can’t it be me?
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
They said I’m going nowhere
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
When did we all stop believing in magic?
Why did we put all our hopes in a box in the attic?
I’m the long-shot
I’m the Hail Mary
Why can’t it be me?
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down (Knock me down)
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
They said I’m going nowhere
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
Yeah
Yeah-eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh (Cover me in daisies)
Yeah
Yeah-eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
I’m the small town
One in seven billion
Why can’t it be me?
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
They said I’m going nowhere
Tried to count me out (Count me out)
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ’em I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ’em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
PART OF ME
***************
Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me
[Chorus:]
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
You ripped me off your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep, you let me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me
[Chorus]
Now look at me I’m sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won’t ever put me out again
I’m glowin’ oh whoa
So you can keep the diamond ring
It don’t mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything yeah, yeah
Except for me
[Chorus]
This is the part of me
No
Away from me
No
This is the part of me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me…
No
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
NEVER WORN WHITE
***************
You love the hell out of me
And heaven’s where we could be
I’ve stood on the edge of love
But never took the leap
And you took my armor off
And did it delicately
And I let my guard down
To show you what’s underneath
Thank God that you were man enough to come
Answer my mamma’s prayers
You asked the question
I said, “Yes”, but I’m scared
‘Cause I’ve never worn white
But I wanna get it right
Yeah, I really wanna try with you
No, I’ve never worn white
But I’m standing here tonight
‘Cause I really wanna say, “I do”
I do
See us in sixty years with a full family tree (I do)
Give my blood, sweat and tears to reach our destiny (I do)
‘Cause love is a minefield, let’s take this walk, baby (I do)
‘Cause at the end of it all, I choose you and you choose me (I do)
Thank God I was woman enough to come
Answer your father’s prayers
You asked the question
I could tell you were scared
‘Cause I’ve never worn white
But I wanna get it right
Yeah, I really wanna try with you
No, I’ve never worn white
But I’m standing here tonight
‘Cause I really wanna say, “I do”
Now let’s dance with each other
Mixing all of our colors
It’s so easy to surrender
When you finally find forever
No, I’ve never worn white, no
But I really wanna try with you
Yeah, I’ve never worn white
But I wanna get it right
‘Cause I really wanna say, “I do”
‘Cause I do
Oh, I do, yeah, yeah
I do
NEVER REALLY OVER
***************
I’m losing my self control
Yeah, you’re starting to trickle back in
But I don’t wanna fall down the rabbit hole
Cross my heart, I won’t do it again
I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, draw the line
And I do I do
But once in a while I trip up and I cross the line
And I think of you
Two years and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done, but I
Guess it’s never really over
Oh, we were such a mess
But wasn’t it the best?
Thought it was done, but I
Guess it’s never really over
Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be coming over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be coming over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
I guess I could try hypnotherapy
I gotta rewire this brain
‘Cause I can’t even go on the internet
Without even checking your name
I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, draw the line
And I do I do
But once in a while I trip up and I cross the line
And I think of you
Two years and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done, but I
Guess it’s never really over
Oh, we were such a mess
But wasn’t it the best?
Thought it was done, but I
Guess it’s never really over
Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be coming over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be coming over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
Thought we kissed goodbye
Thought we meant this time
Was the last, but I guess it’s never really over
Thought we drew the line
Right through you and I
Can’t keep going back
I guess it’s never really over
Two years and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done, but I
Guess it’s never really over
Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be coming over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
(And I’ll have to get over you all over again)
Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be coming over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
(Over you all over again)
Thought we kissed goodbye
Thought we meant this time
Was the last, but I guess it’s never really over
Thought we drew the line
Right through you and I
Can’t keep going back
I guess it’s never really over
TEARY EYES
***************
Have you ever lost, lost the light in your life
Have you ever left, left yourself behind
Have you ever lied and just replied “I’m fine”
‘Cause I can see you’ve lost, lost the light in your life
Wanna run like your mascara
Wine-stained lips talkin’ to the mirror
If the sun comes up, don’t even care at all
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
Promise one day, baby, they’re gonna dry
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
If love has left you with, with a question mark
If trust has left you fallin’ in nobody’s arms
If you wanna hide like your emotions
Heart can’t break, it’s already broken
If the sun comes up, don’t even care at all
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
Promise one day, baby, they’re gonna dry
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
Wanna run like your mascara
Wine-stained lips talkin’ to the mirror
If the sun comes up, don’t even care at all
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
Promise one day, baby, they’re gonna dry
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
Keep on dancin’
Keep on dancin’
Keep on dancin’
Just keep on dancin’ with those teary eyes
