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.
Rain on a river, falling in to the mist
The river is running - don't see the end of it
Rising like a flooded street
All the way to your feet
I was on my knees
You said you had me right from the start of this
Don't get me wrong now - I know the way it is
Only gave you half a life
Gave your words, gave you lies
I didn't know myself
I think it's time to be your only one
Made up of water, made up of fire too
Cracking and burning, pouring it out to you
Try to see you take the pain
When you know I'm the flame
I should've known you would
I think it's time to be your only one
I think I'm ready to be your only one
