Hi, Icelover here, and this is Hive Open Mic Week 269; for this week, the title of my cover song is “The One That Got Away” by Katty Perry.
The song was released in 2010,
It beautifully captures the complexity of relationships and the bittersweet memories that linger long after they end, which is part of what draws me to it.
When the song was released, it was considered one of the artist's standout tracks because it showed the ability of the artist to create both a crafty and memorable song; this made it one of the reasons why I love the song.
In the lyrics of the song, the artist describes a past relationship that didn't work out, expressing the sadness of what might have been. It's a heartfelt reminder of how lasting connections can shape our lives, and it’s something that many of us can relate to on a deep level. And how the memories both parties shared still remained clear. The artist pondered on what could have been if the relationship lasted longer than it did.
This song truly stands out for its ability to resonate with so many listeners.

LYRICS:
verse
You know it′s crazy, 'cause nights like this
Would start out with a little private party
You sneak me in your mom′s house
I know I mighta spilled my drink, but
Really wasn't tryin' to spill my heart out
I mean it started as a conversation
I was really tryin′ to get my thoughts out
But then we make moves and we make plans
Had the whole thing mapped out
See, you were gonna go to college
And to pay for bills I′d figure the job out
And you knew I had to say it, but them day's gone
Now I moved on and you switched phones
Hopefully reincarnation will bring us back to the place we belong
Summer after high school when we first met
We make out 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 planned that one day, I'd be losing you
chorus
In another life
I would be your girl
We 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
verse
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
chorus
In another life
I would be your girl
We 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
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The one that got away
verse
I'm falling for you like dominoes
From the top of the hundredth floor
Look out below Geronimo
Tryin' to get behind the closed doors to your soul
Why′d you have to end the show
We had such a beautiful plot
There was still more story to go
Now look, I′m not insinuating that
You're some type of fair weather player
But even if the whole world falls over
I wouldn′t be aware of a glacier
I just wanna see you wake up
Doing your hair in the mirror with your makeup
Then, maybe in the next lifetime we could make up
chorus
In another life
I would be your girl
We 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
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
outro
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
