One Of Us
A*Teens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know
One of us is crying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call

They passed me by, all of those great romances
I watched as all the amazing love stories happened without me
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
I believed that you were keeping me from my own opportunities
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
I felt like I had a clear understanding of everything and that it was simple
And so I dealt you the blow
I hurt you intentionally
One of us had to go
One of us had to leave the relationship
Now it's different, I want you to know
Things have changed and I want to tell you about it
One of us is crying
One of us is upset
One of us is lying
One of us is not telling the truth
In her lonely bed
Alone in bed
Staring at the ceiling
Looking up at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
Wanting to be somewhere other than where she is
One of us is lonely
One of us is alone
One of us is only
One of us is solely
Waiting for a call
Expecting a phone call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Feeling upset at herself and feeling insignificant
Wishing she had never left at all
Regretting leaving the relationship
I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I thought of myself as someone who was hidden but still appealing
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
I believed that you were preventing me from being part of exciting things
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
I acted like a child, being stubborn and not understanding things correctly
That's how I started the show
That's how I began the situation
Never left at all
Regretting ever leaving the relationship

Una version que llega a los mas profundo de las emosiones

I like this rendition. It sounds a lot like an Ace of Base record, which I grew up listening to, so maybe that's why, it's such a familiar sound...
