All but One Lyrics

Would you believe it, if I told you I moved on?
So we're back to square one, yeah that's the number
I told you before this is a do-over, a do-over
I know you think that you're a ten
But all that it is, is speculation
That all you had to do is be a friend to me
I'm over you again, coz I can't take it no,
Would you believe it, if I told you I moved on?
I'll tell you it's time to face the facts again so do me a favour and try count me out.
I'm aware, of what was in front of me
But how and why couldn't you see
Are you tryna run away from it?
Are you tryna tell me your missing something?
Stop waiting for the world to owe you now?
Are you tryna run away from it?
Are you tryna tell me your missing something?
Stop waiting for the world to owe you now?
So we're back to square one, yeah that's my number
I told you before this is a do-over, a do-over
So we're back to square one, yeah that's my number
I told you before this is a do-over, a do-over
You have already answered your question by yourself
So next time you should think about your delivery
My fault lies in delaying the inevitable
Looking back in hindsight it was a no from the word go
I'm over you again, coz I can't take it no,
Would you believe it, if I told you I moved on?
I'll tell you it's time to face the facts again
So do me a favour and try count me out, try to count me out
Are you tryna run away from it?
Are you tryna tell me your missing something?
Stop waiting for the world to owe you now?
Are you tryna run away from it?
Are you tryna tell me your missing something?
Stop waiting for the world to owe you now?
The lyrics to "Square One" by All but One are about a breakup, where the singer is trying to move on from their past relationship. They are frustrated with their ex-partner's behavior, and feel that they are "back to square one" in terms of their emotional state. The singer questions their ex's actions, wondering why they couldn't see what was in front of them, and whether they are trying to avoid dealing with their feelings. The singer also acknowledges their own role in delaying the inevitable end of the relationship, and takes responsibility for their actions.
The chorus, "So we're back to square one, yeah that's my number, I told you before this is a do-over, a do-over," emphasizes the repetitive nature of their relationship, and the idea that they are starting over again. The lines "Are you tryna run away from it?/Are you tryna tell me you're missing something?/Stop waiting for the world to owe you now?" suggest that the singer's ex is not dealing with their emotions or taking responsibility for their actions, and that it's time for them to move on and take control of their own life.
Overall, "Square One" is a song about the struggles of moving on from a relationship and the importance of taking responsibility for one's own emotions and actions.

I'm over you again, coz I can't take it no,
I've tried to move on from you because I can't handle the pain anymore.
Would you believe it, if I told you I moved on?
I wonder if you would believe me if I said that I have finally let you go.
So we're back to square one, yeah that's the number
We're back to where we started, at the beginning of our failed relationship.
I told you before this is a do-over, a do-over
I warned you that we are repeating the same mistakes and trying to start over.
I know you think that you're a ten
You have a high opinion of yourself and your value to me.
But all that it is, is speculation
However, it is only your assumption and not necessarily true.
When will this come to an end, tell me?
I want to know when our cycle of mistakes and pain will finally be over.
That all you had to do is be a friend to me
If only you were a supportive friend, instead of causing me heartache and frustration.
I'm aware, of what was in front of me
I knew what I was getting into, but I still fell for you.
But how and why couldn't you see
I can't understand how you didn't see the problems in our relationship like I did.
Are you tryna run away from it?
Are you avoiding the truth and trying to escape from our issues?
Are you tryna tell me your missing something?

Stop waiting for the world to owe you now?
Stop expecting the world to give you what you want without putting in the effort.
You have already answered your question by yourself
You already know the answer to your own doubts about us.
So next time you should think about your delivery
You should consider how you present yourself and communicate with me in the future.
My fault lies in delaying the inevitable
I am to blame for prolonging our relationship even though it was doomed to fail.
Looking back in hindsight it was a no from the word go
Thinking back, I realize that we were doomed from the very beginning.
I'll tell you it's time to face the facts again
I am trying to make you see the truth once more.
So do me a favour and try count me out, try to count me out
If you can, try to pretend that I am not in your life anymore and see how that feels.
Stop waiting for the world to owe you now?
Stop expecting everything to be handed to you without putting in the work and effort.
