One of Us
Ava Max Lyrics

One of would die for love
There is someone in this situation who would sacrifice everything for love.

One of us would give it up
Someone would be willing to let go of something they love to be with the other person.

One of us would risk it all
One of the people involved is willing to take a major chance for love.

One of us won't even call
Someone is not even willing to make contact with the other person.

One of us could say goodbye
One person may be capable of walking away from the relationship.

Never even bat an eye
The other person may not react to this goodbye at all.

One of us is hurting you
There is someone causing pain to the other person involved in this situation.

And baby, that's the last thing that I wanna do
The singer is expressing that they do not want to be the person causing pain.

Never did the thought ever cross
The singer is surprised that they find themselves in this situation.

And never did I think I would stop
The singer never imagined that they would lose control of a situation like this.

Forever, no one tells you the cost
Love can come at a high price, which is not always clear before entering into a relationship.

Of paradise, paradise
The reference to paradise is an allusion to the idea that love can be a type of paradise.

Kisses, but they cut like a knife
Affectionate gestures can still be painful or destructive.

I wish this was a little more bright
The singer wishes that the situation was less complicated or stressful.

Once sweet words, now they come with a bite
Promises and words that were once sweet now have negative consequences or cause problems.

Oh, hungry eyes, hungry eyes
The reference to 'hungry eyes' suggests that someone may be looking for something they cannot have.

I would give up the world, but it won't save us
The singer is willing to give up everything for the relationship, but it may not be enough to fix their problems.

It's killin' me inside out because
The situation is causing the singer great pain.

Question, is this how it goes down?
The singer is questioning if this is really how relationships are supposed to work.

In heaven, can someone let me out?
The singer feels trapped or stuck in the situation and appeals for help.

I'm beggin' 'cause I'm burnin' with doubt
The singer is desperate for answers and unsure of what to do in the situation.

One of us could say goodbye (goodbye)
The idea that one person may end things is repeated, highlighting the uncertainty of the relationship.

And baby that's the last thing that I wanna do
The refrain is repeated once more, emphasizing that the singer does not want to be the cause of pain in the relationship.
