about

I wrote this song in 2017.
It is the very first piece to the puzzle.


Work Title: I WAS YOUR ONE
BMI Work No: 030594828

lyrics

Verse 1

They say time is a healer but man I can't believe it.
Cause there's not enough time that could pass to mend these cracks inside my heart.
They say " one day you will find true love, so have some faith, just don't give up."
Forget love man and forget you too.
Don't act like you know what I've been through.

It's been a constant struggle since I reached this earth,
I dunno what I've done to you to deserve all of this,
I don't know who I'd be if my life was just a breeze.
But I know I can do anything and I can do it with such ease.


Chorus


So you went looking for love and money always lies.
I was your one, I was your one.
And every morning, early morning I was down to ride.
I was your one, I was your one.


Verse 2


At first we started on the same team and on those days we shared the same dreams.
A time we wanted all the same things up until this madness started happening.
Right now we stand divided.
Our relationship's one sided.
And I try not to be reminded.
How I feel left too undecided.
Oh it's me against you, and you against me.
The good versus the evil.
Since you see no in between.


Chorus


So you went looking for love and money always lies.
I was your one, oh I was your one.
And early morning, every morning I was down to ride.
I was your one, I was your one.


Bridge


Please just stop what you are doing soon and then come to your full senses too.
For the longer this continues you are the one who will regret it.
Oops, I said regret, wait, what I mean is please end this.
It's so hard to keep pretending.
Do you know what my friends think?
Do you know what my friends think?
They think you're crazy.

ooooooh.

yeah


Don't you know
Don't you know


Don't you know boy,
Don't you know boy.
I was the one for you.
Don't you know boy.
Don't you know boy.
I was the one for you.
It's true.
