One
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mind's a burnin' hell
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me
That you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
Please baby can't you see
I'm trying to explain
I've been here before and I'm locking the door
And I'm not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make
It go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
The Glee Cast's song "One" is a powerful love song with emotional and potent lyrics. The song is about a woman who believes that she is the only person who can love her man despite his flaws and demons. She is telling her man that she will always be there for him despite his tendency to run away and hide from his problems. The woman is pleading with him to see her as the only one who truly loves him and ultimately will remain loyal to him through thick and thin.
The lyrics are cleverly crafted as they show the woman's vulnerability and her strength in equal measure. She is willing to walk across fire and drown in her love's desires because she knows she is the only one who truly loves him like she does. The lyrics also highlight the idea that love is not always easy, as it can challenge us and test our limits. However, if we have the courage to hold on to our love, then it will ultimately overcome all obstacles.

Please baby can't you see
I'm begging you to understand
My mind's a burnin' hell
I'm tormented by my thoughts
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My emotions are causing me pain
My heart apart as well
My heart is broken too
Tonight you told me
You just told me
That you ache for something new
You want something different
And some other woman is lookin' like something
You're interested in another woman
That might be good for you
You think she might be better for you
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Stay with her until the pain fades
Go on believe her when she tells you
Trust her when she says
Nothing's wrong
Nothing is going on
But I'm the only one
I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm willing to do anything for you
And I'm the only one
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
My passion for you is overwhelming
It's only fear that makes you run
You're running away because you're scared
The demons that you're hiding from
You're struggling with inner demons
When all your promises are gone
Once you break your promises
I'm the only one
I'm still the only one
Please baby can't you see
I'm still begging you to understand
I'm trying to explain
I'm attempting to make you comprehend
I've been here before and I'm locking the door
I've experienced this before and I don't want to do it again
And I'm not going back again
I won't repeat the same mistake
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make
The other woman's appearance won't make a difference
It go away
The pain won't disappear
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
You'll have to handle the sadness tomorrow
That holds you down today
That's causing you pain now
