The Only One Lyrics

The Only One Lyrics

There are times when we just feel a great big hole in the middle of us, and we want someone to fill it. This desire can become so visceral that we flirt with the idea of forcing someone into that hole. Invariably, that person is one of the worst mistakes we could have ever made. What is interesting though, is when you find out, after going through all the struggle of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, that the person who really was supposed to fill that great big hole was there all along just waiting for you to realize it.

The Only One

A saddled back of wasted time

Staying true to a fantasy

Concocted by the tongues around me

And happiness was treating me like some kind of leper

With just my progeny to show

What I suffered for, I just don’t know

I’ve been searching

To find the only one

That lights up the sun

Gives me right from what’s wrong

Can I find

The only one

That’s been right in front of me

All along

The heartless soul behind a mask

She hid from me so well

It took me years before I could tell

From afar you were hoping

While I felt the pressure grinding my bones

Why I stayed so long

I just don’t know

I’ve been searching

To find the only one

That lights up the sun

Gives me right from what’s wrong

Can I find

The only one

That’s been right in front of me

All along

You were there before

Back when I slammed that door

And ran straight into someone else’s arms

If only I had known back then

What was inside of your head

We might both have different lives instead

I’ve been searching

To find the only one

Who lights up the sun

Gives me right from what’s wrong

Could you be

The only one

Who’s been right in front of me

All along
