I came to know this mashup by Alex and Chad through a facebook post from Nina Tio and instantly after hearing their own rendition I fell inlove with their version. Honestly , I really hate Katy Perry's song, The One that got away, not because it's awful but because it's a good song that puts me back on the state of denial. And I couldn't stand hearing the song over and over again specially the line that says,... the one that got away. I feel like I'm the losing end. but I think it requires a mature heart to fully understand what the song really meant. Love is no competition and sometimes, One must accept that he lost in the battle of commitment and sustainability. After hearing the cover with Use Somebody as part of the lines made me understand that the song merely talks about acceptance and recognizing the fact that sometimes in life, things in the past makes us who we are and shapes how we think. Somehow this enables us to hope that we could find and use somebody like the one that got away.... NOTE: if accessing the video above is restricted on your country or it won't simply play.

Lyrics Summer after high school when we first met We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead And on my 18th Birthday We got matching tattoos Used to steal your parents' liquor And climb to the roof Talk about our future Like we had a clue Never planned that one day I'd be losing you In another life You would be my girl We'd keep all our promises Be us against the world In another life I would make you stay So I don't have to say You were the one that got away The one that got away I've been roaming around, always looking down at all I see Painted faces, building places I can't reach You know that I could use somebody You know that I could use somebody Someone like you and all you know and how you speak Countless lovers under cover of the street You know that I could use somebody You know that I could use somebody Someone like you Someone like you In another life You would be my girl We'd keep all our promises Be us against the world In another life I would make you stay So I don't have to say You were the one that got away The one that got away In another life (someone like you) You would be my girl We'd keep all our promises (someone like you) Be us against the world In another life (someone like you) I would make you stay So I don't have to say (someone like you) You were the one that got away The one that got away The one that got away ALTERNATE VIDEO
