Five On The Richter Scale by Don Taco (The One that Got Away)

 Five On The Richter Scale


there’s a girl in my heart of hearts

singing harmony

every word she told me was a song I thought I knew

I love her     but she loves him

empty arms     alone again

how can I admit that we are through


there’s a girl in my memories

knocking down my dreams

every word she’s saying forcing me to build a wall

you’re the one     you’re not the one

shaky world     the balance gone

how can I recover from the fall


five on the richter scale

forever on my mind

three strikes against me

too far apart

the one that got away

still number one in my heart


there’s a girl in my motel room

strumming my guitar

every word she’s singing is a truth that I can’t see

I love you but you you love her

in my arms you dream of her

how can I compete with memories


five on the richter scale

forever on my mind

three strikes against me

too far apart

the one that got away

still number one in my heart
