One Love
Antony Costa/Blue/Duncan James/Lee Ryan/Simon Webbe Lyrics

The lyrics to "One Love" by Blue express unrequited love, with the singer confessing that they cannot make the person they love reciprocate their feelings. The song opens with a repetition of "I can't make you love me," which emphasizes the helplessness the singer feels in this situation. They express how much they love this person and how they are the only one for them, but they cannot force them to feel the same way. The line "넌 멀리서 바라보는 별 같아" (You're like a star I gaze at from afar) emphasizes the distance between the singer and the person they are in love with, and their inability to close that gap. Despite this, the singer continues to love this person, calling them "my horizon," which suggests hope for the future.

The chorus repeats the opening line once again, driving home the central theme of the song. The lyrics question whether the singer's love for this person, who doesn't love them back, was a mistake. The lines "Love you forever / 너밖에 없어 / 어쩔 수 없어" (Love you forever / There is no one but you / I can't help it) express the depth of the singer's love and how they simply cannot help feeling this way. The song ends by repeating the chorus one last time, emphasizing the impossibility of forcing someone to love you.

Overall, "One Love" explores the pain and frustration that comes with unrequited love, and the emotions that come with being unable to make someone love you.
