I Was The One

Darling, this is goodbye
Kiss me, I don't know why
You were always beautiful when you closed your eyes
Leave now, while we still can
Let's not wait until it all gets out of hand
You're looking for a criminal, well, I'm a guilty man
I was the one
We were wrong from the start
Maybe we tried just a litte too hard
You don't have to blame yourself
You always played your part
I was the one
I was
Darling, look at us now - look at us now
History won't put us down - won't put us down
Don't let anyboby say you choosed worked it out
I was the one
