The Only One
Transit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I figured it all out on my own
Heaven is what you make it
Hell is what you’re putting me through
Out there waiting unknown, I get the feeling you’re not alone
How could you? Why would you? Who told you?
And now I know the story before you tell me
Tell me what were you thinking
I know I’m not the only one
So funny so
You call it your little secret
I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it
I know I’m not the only one
Midnight, a cigarette burns
Sliding off the bed and out the door
Heaven is what you make it
Hell is what you’re putting me through
Goodbye, you wasted my time
You were the best part of my life
How could you? Why would you? Who told you?
And now I know the story before you tell me
Tell me what were you thinking
I know I’m not the only one
So funny so
You call it your little secret
I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it
I know I’m not the only one
One and only
I know I’m not the only one
L I before the E
Fell for it
I can’t believe I fell for it
Lucky for me I’m not the only one
Who knows the story before you tell me?
Tell me what were you thinking
I know I’m not the only one
And now I know the story before you tell me
Tell me what were you thinking
I know I’m not the only one
So funny so
You call it your little secret
I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it
I know I’m not the only one
One and only
I know I’m not the only one
The lyrics to Transit's song "The Only One" explore the theme of betrayal and the painful realization that someone you thought you could trust has been keeping secrets and hurting you. The opening lines, "Here’s where the horror hits home, I figured it all out on my own," indicate that the singer has come to a sudden, shocking realization about their partner's behavior. The contrast between heaven and hell, and the suggestion that the latter is what their partner has put them through, emphasizes the depth of the singer's hurt and anger.
As the song progresses, the chorus repeats the refrain "I know I'm not the only one" multiple times, underlining the sense of betrayal and making the singer feel like they are not alone in their pain. The line "You call it your little secret, I'm sorry I couldn't keep it" suggests that the partner had been keeping secrets from the singer and had likely been lying to cover their tracks. The final stanza features a play on words with "L I before the E / Fell for it," indicating that the singer had been fooled by their partner's deception.
Overall, "The Only One" is a powerful and emotionally charged song that explores the painful aftermath of a betrayal. The lyrics are full of raw emotion and reflective of the intense feelings of hurt and betrayal that can arise when someone we love and trust lets us down.

Here’s where the horror hits home
This is the moment when the fear and dread really sink in
I figured it all out on my own
I came to a realization without anyone else's help
Heaven is what you make it
Your experience of life is determined by your own actions and attitude
Hell is what you’re putting me through
The pain and suffering I'm going through is caused by your actions
Out there waiting unknown, I get the feeling you’re not alone
I have a suspicion that you're doing something wrong when you're away from me
How could you? Why would you? Who told you?
I'm questioning your motives and how you even came up with these actions
And now I know the story before you tell me
I've already pieced together what you're going to say before you even say it
Tell me what were you thinking
Explain to me your thought process behind your actions
I know I’m not the only one
I have a feeling that I'm not the only person you've betrayed
So funny so
It's ironic that you think this is a joke
You call it your little secret
You think that what you did was just a small, insignificant secret
I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it
I'm apologizing for not being able to keep this pain to myself
Midnight, a cigarette burns
It's late at night and I'm consumed in my own thoughts, smoking a cigarette for comfort
Sliding off the bed and out the door
I'm leaving this situation and escaping the pain
Goodbye, you wasted my time
I'm saying farewell to someone who wasted my precious time and energy
You were the best part of my life
You were once the most positive influence in my life
L I before the E
Spelling lesson about 'i' and 'e'
Fell for it
I was tricked and got myself into this situation
I can’t believe I fell for it
I'm shocked and angry at myself for falling for your deception
Lucky for me I’m not the only one
At least I'm not alone in being deceived by you
One and only
I know I'm not the only one, but I'm still unique in my own way
