"Would've Been The One"
Enlightning drama sent from where
A Casanova likely glare
And I was chosen, I was there
The wells get deeper, more unfolds
And at the bottom, there she goes
But wells are endless, I found more
Flowers, candy, flirty, late nights
On the speed dial that was you, to
Dinner, movie, sweetheart, kisses
He don't dance, but tangles with two
I find you plus me divided
Me from him but I discovered
Many more and again and again...
And you don't know; you fill many spaces...
And she don't know; she's one of many a lies...
And he don't know how he stole many places...
And we all know we can't fix him if we tried...
I would've been the one
I held the title, walked the grounds
I was the trophy, while you ducked down
And she was cool with his fooling around (yes she was, yes she was, yes she was)
Now number four was there to ride
And five was crazy his wild child
And when we're rocky, he calls number nine
Flowers, candy, flirty, late nights
On the speed dial that was you, to
Dinner, movie, sweetheart, kisses
He don't dance, but tangles with two
I find you plus me divided
Me from him but I discovered
Many more and again and again...
And you don't know; you fill many spaces...
And she don't know; she's one of many a lies...
And he don't know how he stole many places...
And we all know we can't fix him if we tried...
I would've been the one
I was the one, yes, I was the one,
And yes, that was my name inked up on his arm;
And if he loved me that much, and still did me wrong...
You feeling sorry but you are holding on
I was the one, yes, I was the one;
Key word is "was"; yes, I was the one...
I figured out he was empty on my arm...
He had to find the answer in the something or someone...
And you don't know; you fill many spaces...
And she don't know; she's one of many a lies...
And he don't know how he stole many places...
And we all know we can't fix him if we tried...
I would've been the one
Do do do do do do...
I would've been the one...
