This is to the woman in my life who I feel is the one that got away...
I'm Nox. I'm 21 years old. I've been rapping for as long as I can remember. When I was 14 I did a small demo tape on a karoke machine, the quality was horrible, but it was my first step in the right direction. From there I went to studios, paying out of my own pocket, and here's what I came up with from the ages of 18 - 20. I am now 21.
Story behind the song
This is a song I wrote when I was reminiscing about what could have been..hence the hook...but then as I wrote the verses I realized maybe her getting away wasn't the worst thing that could have happened...
Lyrics
I close my eyes and I see you
I can't disguise how I need you
you left and it got to me
that you got away
------------------------
In all reality you was the only one I wanted
all the times that we was talkin you were tellin me that you want it
so I through it all away, just to grant a wish
you're the one that got away, you're at the top of the list
of regrets, of mistakes that I've made
if I could do it all again, then I'd take and I'd trade
every second, every mile that I crossed
every breath that I took, every fight that we fought
every time that I lost, every time that I won
wouldn't make a difference I'd rewind and be done
with the whole pie, never leavin' a crumb
especially when you left me bleedin' and stung
like, what you was sayin' wasn't leavin' your tongue
you was, frontin' and fakin' I was grievin', I'm done
you can beg till I'm deaf, you can scream till I'm dumb
but I'm not comin' back, just believe, you're the one
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I close my eyes and I see you
I can't disguise how I need you
you left and it got to me
that you got away
------------------------
you're the one I reminise on, the one I wanna kiss on
the one I wanna wrap my mind around on this song
you're the reason that I'm lonely and bored
but you're also the reason that I hold to the sword
that I, call my tongue when I use it for delivery
I wonder if I died tonight, would you remember me
would you be shivering, would it affect you?
I wanted to love, and honor, and respect you
I wanted to walk the streets and protect you
I wanted to drop the sheets, and inspect you
the only thing I have left to collect
isn't fame, fortune, importance, respect
I fell like, I was one number from the lottery
when I let you start away, you took a part of me
and it got to me, still leaves me shocked today
when I let you walk away, you're the one that got away
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I close my eyes and I see you
I can't disguise how I need you
you left and it got to me
that you got away
------------------------
believe it or not, when I was squeezin' the glock
stealin' whips, and walkin' the streets and the block
sippin' 5ths, and smokin' the trees that I bought
with the green that I got, from the schemes that I thought up
all I really wanted was escape from the game
when I met you, it was straight to the brain
at first I really thought, it was fate that you came
but now I'm realizin' I was bate for your cane
you had me squirmin, screamin' till my lungs were burnin'
i thought the tide had arrived and started turnin'
for you I'm yearnin, my thoughts are simmering
when I met you, it stopped my memories
like a pause button, implated in my cranium
and it fucked me up, like cocaine and rum
you're all that I want, you're all that I wish for
after all this, what you gotta be a bitch for?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I close my eyes and I see you
I can't disguise how I need you
you left and it got to me
that you got away
