The One That Got Away, written by Katy Perry, Lukasz Gottwald, and Max Martin
“
In another life, I would be your girl.
We'd keep all our promises,
Be us against the world.
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.
— Katy Perry
