The One

You were the one Knew the worst but saw the best You were the one You were the one But I got you and I walked away She can't be caught They said better man had tried and they all thought That just like them that I would be turned away Just another name on a list of dumb mistakes You'd never make But I had time And a plan to make you mine I'd be the man Who'd show you what it was To fall in love But what I didn't realize was... You were the one Knew the worst but saw the best You were the one My mom and sisters said You were the One But I got you and I walked away I walked away But for a time Everything was you and I You were the dream And it woke me to the truth Showed me all the proof of a love Worth far to much to lose But I got lost in these city lights And I forgot the way this city lies about it streets Chasing them left me incomplete Too blind to see You were the one Knew the worst but saw the best You were the one My mom and sisters said You were the one But I got you and I walked away I walked away I know we can't go back I just hope you know that I have not forgotten anything I still see you standing there That ribbon in your hair in a crowd that disappeared as you kissed me I know we can't go back I just hope you know that I have not forgotten anything I still see you standing there That ribbon in your hair in a crowd that disappeared as you kissed me You were the one Knew the worst, but saw the best You were the one My mom and sisters said You were the one But I got you and I walked away I know we can't go back I just hope you know that I have not forgotten anything I still see you standing there That ribbon in your hair in a crowd that disappeared as you kissed me
