THE ONE

VERSE ONE
Should have tried harder
Didn't even bother to pick up on the signs
Being too complacent
Knew that we would face this
Now, her hearts paralyzed
And my eyes to the skies
With my knees in soil
Praying for peace from all that toils
My now troubled soul
Such a lonely feeling, no use concealing
This emptiness
There's no fighting this decision we must face
And even though we know this love is strong
Can't bear the grief of holding on
It's so sad we gotta end this way

HOOK
It's too bad a good thing didn't last
She's the one that got away
Used to be my future, turned into my past
She's as old as yesterday
Though it's killing me on the inside
(the truth) the loving that we share wont be right (its true)
Hurts so bad, girl, to say bye-bye
She's the one that got away

VERSE TWO
Frightened by what it would take
For me to truly love her
Maybe this was a mistake
For me there is no other (there's only you)
And she done packed she done pack them bags
Talking bout the loving I could have had
Thinking over it twice
It's possible that she was right
But there's no use discussing it (I tried)
The many reasons that we split (I cried)
No easy way to conquer this (I tried)
I guess we'll mark it off the list (I cried)
And even though we know this love is strong
Can't bear the grief of holding on
It's so sad we gotta end this way

HOOK

BRIDGE
We've traveled too far to end up looking behind
If this is true love, our paths will soon realign
It's not the easiest thing to watch you walk away
Yet it takes no shame to say
We were done before today

HOOK
