The Only One

Did all the words I never said

Hurt as bad as those I did?

You know I never even cared

Not before you

If I could go and turn back time

If I could only press rewind

I would bleed this heart of mine

And just to show you

I'll be the first to say I'm sorry

The first to say I'm stupid

Why do I always take it there?

Is it hopeless or maybe you still want to

Meet me at the altar?

And I will lay it all to bare

And I told you

All my secrets

All my fears

I've let go

And it's flawless

You are the only one

You are the only one

Don't you know?

Don't you know?

Am I fading from your mind?

Has the distance blurred the lines?

They say all things heal with time

But it's untrue

I will linger on every word

I know it's more than I deserve

Chances are I'll make it worse

But I need to tell you

Tell you that I'm sorry

Tell you that I'm stupid

Why do I always take it there?

Is it hopeless or maybe you still want to

Meet me at the altar?

And I will lay it all to bare

And I told you

All my secrets

All my fears

I've let go

And it's flawless

You are the only one

You are the only one

Don't you know?

Don't you know?

Don't you know

That the hardest part's not having you to hold?

Don't you know

This old heart of mine can't bear to see you go?

And I told you

All my secrets

All my fears

I've let go

And it's flawless

You are the only one

You are the only one

Don't you know

Don't you know?

And I told you

All my secrets

All my fears

I've let go

And it's flawless

You are the only one

You are the only one

Don't you know

Don't you know?

And I told you

All my secrets

All my fears

I've let go

And it's flawless

You are the only one

You are the only one

Don't you know

Don't you know?
