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.
(I) always that I was the cool kid class-clown
Thats until you called me last year's loudmouth
Now I'm full of these modern day self-doubts
Got me feeling hopeless and left out
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't argue
With the evidence I'm insecure
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't argue
With the fact I want to be adored
I want to be the one
Everybody wants
I want to be more than just another smalltown-hero
Don't wanna
Always thought I was your number one regret
Just another common glory day reject
Go ahead reach for another cigarette
Cause you're graveyard bound in the rusted-out town
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't argue
With the evidence I'm insecure
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't argue
With the fact I want to be adored
I want to be the one
Everybody wants
I want to be more that just another smalltown-hero
Don't wanna
[solo]
I want to be the one
Everybody wants
I want to be more than just another smalltown-hero
Don't wanna
