[Link]
He had a name for her that only he used, yeah
She had a name for him but he refused to know

[Verse 1]
Now she's doing better without ya
Can see she's doing better without ya lately
Now the awful truth's getting out there
And she'll let the whole world know
Fought remains of the day
When you don't have nothing to say
When you can't look her in the face
And say you lost this one
You lost this one

[Hook]
The one that got away
Yes, she was the one that drifted away
The queen of your dreams
For the rest of your life
Don't pretend you're together
Living on a dream together
The queen of your dreams
For the rest of your life

[Link]

[Verse 2]
Now she's doing better without ya
Can see she's doing better without ya lately
So look yourself in the face
And say you lost this one, you lost this one

[Hook]

Elliot Gleave, better known by his stage name Example, is an English singer and songwriter signed to Epic Records and Sony Music. His name arose due to his initials being E.G., which is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase exempli gratia (“for example”).

Starting out on The Streets‘ independent label The Beats alongside Professor Green and Plan B, Elliot released his debut album, What We Made, in 2007. The album was largely sample-based and mostly involved rapping.

Gleave saw his first mainstream success with his Ministry of Sound-released second album Won’t Go Quietly (2010), which spawned the hit singles “Watch the Sun Come Up”, “Won’t Go Quietly” and “Kickstarts”. The album featured a mixture of singing and rapping, and some high profile production by the likes of Calvin Harris, Chase & Status and Sub Focus.
