The One Songtext

von Ryan O'Reilly

Fear is honest, fear is true
You once said I wasn't scared of you
I wasn't scared then of much at all
But if you've no fear of heights
Then you are bound to fall

So turn it up, or turn it off
Tell me the truth, I know I'm lost
Your disguise is paper thin
And once you're out you'll not get back in

I searched the frozen Fjords of Oslo
And through the bars of West Toronto
The broken glass of new born streets
I was looking for someone I could never meet

So take an eye
For an eye
Take those bastards by surprise
What you saw can't be unseen
I finally worked out what you mean

How can I begin to tell you
How much damage you've done
How we're here yet again
You can't stop what doesn't end
How I wish, how I wish
That you weren't the one.

We set out on a hopeless lie
But only cowards wouldn't try
The sound the fury and the water's roar
Quickens the heart and picks you up off the floor

So take an eye
For an eye
Take those bastards by surprise
What you saw can't be unseen
I finally worked out what you mean

How can I begin to tell you
How much damage you've done
How we're here yet again
You can't stop what doesn't end
How I wish, how I wish

How can I begin to tell you
How much damage you've done
How I can't let you go
And you won't either though you know
That I wish, that I wish
That you weren't the one.
