The Only 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.
Resurrect us all
I want to be forever young
Wishing more wishes, in debt
Why do I need to carry on?
Can I be the only one?
Rest assured I'm having fun
Every night a hit-and-run
Is it the hardest thing you've ever done?
How can I be the only one?
How can I be the only one?
How can I be the only one?
Can I, Can I be the only one?
Emoticons
Sending faces in polygons
Here's another wish instead
With a candlelight a cigarette
Can I be the only one?
Giving hugs and getting none
Spending hours in the Sun
Is it the hardest thing you've ever done?
How can I be the only one?
How can I be the only one?
How can I be the only one?
Can I, Can I be the only one?
Reckless tears on my mind
Reckless tears all the time
Reckless tears on my mind
Reckless tears all the time
Reckless tears on my mind
Reckless tears all the time
Reckless tears on my mind
Reckless tears all the time
How can I be the only one?
How can I be the only one?
How can I be the only one?
Can I, Can I be the only one?
