	Story Behind the Song Post breakup, everybody pictures the jerk who dumped them ten years later, crying in his/her beer over what a mistake it was to drop such an amazing person. As I see it, it's sort of a cross between Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" and Randy Travis' "Matter of Time." This recording itself reminds me why I like working with other players - the guitar feels very stripped down, very bare...I would love to add some drums, some violins maybe, a little synth - but I think this version gets the point across acceptably. Lyrics (verse 1) I cried a few tears When you told me the news But I spent the past month Getting over you So I couldn't really be too sad When you finally said goodbye It's about time You put an end to all the lies And I'll admit it stings a little Being left behind Knowing the truth of all the games You played with my mind But out of sheer self-respect And what's left of my pride I'll spare you an account of what I'm feeling inside (Chorus) I'm not sorry I took the risk Kinda figured things would end like this But I do feel sorry for you That's one thing I can say 'Cause you'll always be just one more jerk I left behind, But I'm gonna be the one that got away. (verse 2) No matter how I feel now I'll get over it My heart will mend It won't bother me a bit But someday you're gonna realize What it is you had And what you lost When you treated me so bad (Repeat Chorus three times)
