One night in a lucid dream
I saw my life on a silver screen
I gazed in disbelief
I took for granted all you've given me

A good man is so hard to find
I should have known you were there all the time
How could I be so blind
I took for granted how you loved me

Now I, I keep calling out your name every night
Now I know things will never be the same since you said goodbye

Now I keep looking back and crying
Lord, I know I've made mistakes
There's no secrets I'm denying
You're the one that got away
The great escape

Looking back I don't like what I see
I gave nothing but you gave everything to me
How can I ever be
The same without you lost in misery

Tonight, I'll be wishing on a star in the sky
'Cause I, I'm wondering where you are since you said goodbye

Now I keep looking back and crying
Lord, I know I've made mistakes
There's no secrets I'm denying
You're the one that got away
The great escape

Now I keep looking back and crying
Lord, I know I've made mistakes
There's no secrets I'm denying
You're the one that got away
The great escape, the great escape

There's no secrets I'm denying
You're the one that got away
The great escape
