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.
These are the words that I've saved
Saved for the perfect day
But they won't get used
If I keep waiting on you
This is the way that I feel
I wish that it wasn't real
But it's more than true
I can't keep waiting on you
So open your eyes and see where I'm standing
Straight in your line of sight so you
Should make up your mind
Do what it is that you need to
'cause I'm not leaving
You are the only one that I think about
When I'm down and out and miles away
You are the only one, when we're falling out
I want to make it better
These are the words that I should have told you
All of the times that I just ignored you
I would give you everything I have
So let's just start all over again
Now that the games we've played
Were stripped down and thrown away
I can clearly see
That you've been waiting on me
So open your eyes and see where I'm standing
Straight in your line of sight so you
Should make up your mind
Do what it is that you need to
'cause I'm not leaving
You are the only one that I think about
When I'm down and out and miles away
You are the only one, when we're falling out
I want to make it better
These are the words that I should have told you
All of the times that I just ignored you
I would give you everything I have
So let's just start all over again
Bygones are bygones
And they should stay that way
We've got the world at our fingers
Let's stick it back together
We could make it better
We could make it better
You are the only one that I think about
When I'm down and out and miles away
You are the only one, when we're falling out
I want to make it better
These are the words that I should have told you
All of the times that I just ignored you
I would give you everything I have
So let's just start all over again
