Only One
Carlie Hanson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna be alone
So come show me what you know
Baby, you're all that I need
I don't wanna be alone
So we can't just let this go
You know
I'll be all you need
Staying up real late
I miss you next to me
I know you're not alone
Probably with some girl you don't know

I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby
Don't forget the things we did to put our minds at ease
I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby
Don't forget the things we did to put our minds at ease
I'm the only one
I'm the only one

I don't wanna be apart
I'll be careful with your heart
Cuz I wear mine on my sleeve
I don't wanna be apart
So let's go back to the start
You know
That's where i'm gonna be

Staying up real late
I miss you next to me
I know you're not alone
Probably with some girl you don't know

I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby
Don't forget the things we did to put our minds at ease
I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby
Don't forget the things we did to put our minds at ease
I'm the only one
I'm the only one
I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby
Don't forget the things we did to put our minds at ease

We were always together
I know I made you feel better
We loved, loved
Yeah we loved without caution
We were always together
I know I made you feel better
We loved, loved
Yeah we loved without caution

I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby
Don't forget the things we did to put our minds at ease
I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby
Don't forget the things we did to put our minds at ease
I'm the only one
I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby
I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby
Don't forget the things we did to put our minds at ease




I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby
Don't forget the things we did to put our minds at ease

Overall Meaning

In Carlie Hanson's song "Only One," the singer seems to be expressing her desire to be with someone who she truly understands and who understands her in return. She doesn't want to be alone and needs someone to show her what they know. The repetition of "I'm the only one who truly knows you best, baby" suggests that the relationship she had with this person was very intimate and that she was aware of all their vulnerabilities and secrets.


She misses the person, and is aware that they might be with someone else. However, she believes that she is the only one who truly knows this person's heart and what makes them feel better. She is willing to be careful with their heart, as she wears hers on her sleeve. The lyrics suggest that they had a deep connection and that they were always together, loving without caution. The phrase "don't forget the things we did to put our minds at ease" hints that they shared some experiences that created a deep bond between them. The last part of the song implies that she is still the only one who can truly understand the person and that they should not forget the things they experienced together.
