The Only One

The only one.

THE ONLY ONE.

I scream it,

scream into the night,

and I can’t stop thinking about you,

now why can’t I, this is history repeating

itself, shouldn’t it be easier to learn how to forget

the second time around?

 

Yeah I thought my brother was the one,

how could that be, I was ready to run away with him

if he felt the same, but then I’d never meet you,

would I, but you might as well be my sister, that’s

how sure I am that all this that is roaring inside me

is just as impossible as him.

 

The only one, the only one,

I don’t wanna believe it,

 but my heart is crushed by the heavy weight of this,

it’s like someone dropped a 50 lb weight on my chest,

and I can’t get up even though I should be used to pain by now,

but I’m frozen and I can’t move and I want to take the next

airplane to Australia because I know that that’s the only way

I could forget you and live life and fall in love with someone else,

I can’t even do that, because there’s this voice deep inside me that’s

always chanting whenever I see you, think of you, hear you,

the only one, the only one, the only one, the only one, the only one,

and it just won’t shut up, and whenever I see you, think of you, hear you,

see you with him and know I pretty much have no chance, that voice starts

chanting again, the only one, the only one, the only one, the only one, the only one,

somehow I gotta learn how to exorcize it, can I do that, but I want to, do I want to?

There it goes chanting again.
