the one

By: kellie hall

You always said that you'd never leave me.
I was gonna be the one you'd love forever,
but I was sure you were gonna break my heart.

Now I'm the one with feelings fading,
and I can see it coming.
I didn't want to be "the one",
but I didn't want to be the one to break your heart.
I didn't want to be "forever",
but I knew that I could never hurt you.

You were way better than I could ever
hope to be.
You didn't deserve the way I treated you,
and I didn't deserve you.

Now I'm the one with feelings fading,
and I can see it coming.
I didn't want to be "the one",
but I didn't want to be the one to break your heart.
I didn't want to be "forever",
but I knew that I could never hurt you.

To be just a boy who changed me
in so many ways...
you meant more to me than you will ever know.
