I’m not on my a-game
These days, keep you at an arms length
I act a real bitch but you connect the dots anyway
When I hurt the most you know I put up a front
Trynna make you run but
Really something else is going on

Yeah, I’m damaged goods, better knock on wood, better to forget me
Never gonna be what we hope, you see, better to forget me

But you’re gonna remember my name
The boy that got away
You’re gonna remember my name
You’re gonna be so happy soon
Trust me, no use
But you’re gonna remember my name
I’m gone, boy gone, the boy that got away

I don’t get an A plus
No bluff, not a perfect boyfriend
I wanna be a soldier of love but I only save myself
When the world takes its toll
Wanna be on your team when you’re not on your a-game
I hope that we’ll survive that long

Yeah, I’m damaged goods, better knock on wood, better to forget me
Never gonna be what we hope, you see, better to forget me

But you’re gonna remember my name
The boy that got away
You’re gonna remember my name
You’re gonna be so happy soon
Trust me, no use
But you’re gonna remember my name
I’m gone, boy gone, the boy that got away

Whatcha gonna do when you find someone new
And all you can remember is my name, cos I’m the boy who got away

Remember my name!
I said remember my name baby!
You’re gonna be so happy soon
Trust me, no use
But you’re gonna remember my name
I’m gone, boy gone, the boy that got away
