You're Not Alone
D. Bedingfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?
I never know what the future brings,
But I know you are here with me now,
We'll make it through,
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand,
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don't know why you're so far away,
But I know that this much is true,
We'll make it through,
And I hope you are the one I share my life with,
And I wish that you could be the one I die with,
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with,
I hope I love you all my life
I don't want to run away but I can't take it , I don't understand,
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
'Cause I miss you body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away,
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today,
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right,
And though I can't be with you tonight,
You know my heart is by your side
I don't want to run away but I can't take it,
I don't understand,
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way I can stay in your arms?
The song "If You're Not The One" by Daniel Bedingfield is a poignant love song about a person grappling with their feelings for someone else. The singer starts off with a question that seems to be directed at their love interest: if you're not the one, then why do I feel happy and content when I think about you? Why do our hands fit so perfectly together if you're not meant to be mine? The singer is aware of the possibility that this person might not be their one true love, but they can't ignore the way they feel.
The second verse shows the singer's increasing confusion about their situation. They don't want to leave, but they don't understand why they're feeling this way if they're not meant to be together. They're struggling with the idea that maybe they're not really meant to be together, but they can't stop thinking about this person. The chorus repeats the same questions, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they're making the right decision. The bridge introduces a new element - the singer is physically separated from their love interest, and the distance is causing them pain. They miss this person so much that it feels like they can't breathe, and their hope that they're meant to be together is what gives them the strength to carry on.
Overall, the song is an exploration of the complexities of love and how it can leave us feeling confused, uncertain, and vulnerable. Despite the singer's doubts and fears, they are unable to deny the feelings they have for this person and hope that they are the one they will spend their life with.

16 years ago this song fit my life so well and there was this one person who I wanted to share my life with more than anything in the world, so much so that this song broke my heart every time I listened to it. I went through a very tough 6 - 7 months fighting for this woman who I loved but spent every day with her abusive husband. We jump to today. I have been with this wonderful woman for 15 years and we have been married for 7 years and we love each other more today than we ever have. I still can't listen to this song without tears but now they are tears of joy. Anyone who is fighting for that one special person, all I can say is don't give up on them no matter how long it takes, if they are the one for you they are worth fighting for no matter how long it takes!!!
