Would've Been The 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.
In lighten drama sent from where
A casanova likely glare
And I was chosen
I was there
The wells get deeper
More unfolds
And at the bottom there she goes
But wells are endless
I found more
Flower, candy, flirty, late night
On the speed dial that was you to
Dinner, movie, sweetheart, kisses
He don't dance
But tangles with two
I find you plus me divide
Me from him but I discovered
Many more and again and again
And you don't know
You fill many spaces
And she don't know
She's one of many lies
And he don't now
How he stole many places
And we all know
We can't fix him if we tried
I would've been you one
I held the title
Walked the grounds
I was the trophy
While you ducked down
And she was cool
With his fooling around
Now number four was there to ride
And five was crazy his wild child
And when we're rocky
He calls number nine
Flower, candy, flirty, late night
On the speed dial that was you to
Dinner, movie, sweetheart, kisses
He don't dance
But tangles with two
I find you plus me divide
Me from him but I discovered
Many more and more again and again
And you don't know
You fill many spaces
And she don't know
She's one of many lies
And he don't know
How he steals many places
And we all know
We can't fix him if we tried
I would've been the one
I was the one
Yes I was the one
And yes that was my name
Inked up on his arm
And if he loved me that much
And still did me wrong
You feeling sorry but you are holding on
I was the one
Yeah I was the one
Key word is was
Yes I was the one
I figured out he was empty on my arm
He had to find the answer
In the something on someone
And you don't know
You fill many spaces
And she don't know
She's one of many lies
And he don't know
He stole many places
And we all know
We can't fix him if we tried
I would've been you one
