Lyrics
It Just Takes One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I remember how it was when you came along
You said that you felt weak, with me you were strong
You were sure you'd finally found the way
That makes you the fool who walked away
CHORUS
It took two to find the love you buried deep inside
And it took two to promise we would never let it die
Yes, it took two and you know it doesn't seem right
It just takes one to say goodbye
I was tired of making deals and just getting burned
It was different this time, 'cause you said you'd learned
To say words that you could never say
But the thing you still know best is running away
CHORUS
When the years go by, you'll see you don't have enough
But just remember you gave up when the going got rough
And you thought that it would set you free
But it's true love that you trade can't you see
CHORUS
