One Too
Dallas Smith & MacKenzie Porter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were the one to change everything
You were the home I knew I could run to
And I never thought about a ring
But you made me want to
How could I've been so wrong?
Never thought you'd be the one to
Break up what we set in stone
I didn't plan on learning how to live without you
I thought I'd found my settle down the night I'd found you
We used to talk about forever, now look at what it's come to
I didn't just love you, I really thought you were the one, too

Ain't that a dumb truth
I never thought we'd fall apart
And I'd be the one who
Was left with the hurt
A whole lot of work, just tryna undo
Something that felt so real
Now I gotta be the one to
Move on no matter how I feel, yeah

I didn't plan on learning how to live without you
I thought I found my settle down the night I found you
We used to talk about forever, now look at what it's come to
I didn't just love you, I really thought you were the one, too, oh, mm

I really thought you were the one to
To play that part, to go that far, to wake up next to
So how am I supposed to try and just forget you?
You broke my heart, the hardest part is I can't even blame you
You just didn't feel the same, too, ooh

I didn't plan on learning how to live without you
I thought I found my settle down the night I found you
We used to talk about forever, now look at what it's come to
No, I didn't just love you, I really thought you were the one, too, oh
I really thought you were the one, too, oh

Overall Meaning

In Dallas Smith's song "One Too," the singer reflects on a failed relationship that was unexpected and heartbreaking. The lyrics convey a sense of shock and disappointment as the singer realizes that the person they believed to be their soulmate turned out to be someone who broke their trust and shattered their dreams.


The opening lines, "You were the one to change everything, You were the home I knew I could run to," show that the singer had a deep connection with their partner, believing them to be a safe haven and a source of stability. The mention of not thinking about a ring initially suggests that they didn't envision a long-term commitment, but the partner's actions made them reconsider their viewpoint.


The chorus expresses the pain and confusion the singer feels as they navigate life without their former partner. They had believed that they found their lifelong partner, someone to settle down with, and they had discussed a future together. But now, they are left with nothing but heartache and the difficult task of moving on.


As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is struggling to let go of their feelings. They question how they can forget their ex-partner and lament the fact that they can't even blame them for the breakup, as it seems the partner simply didn't feel the same way.


Overall, "One Too" is a heartfelt reflection on the pain of a failed relationship where the singer thought they had found the one, but ultimately discovered they were wrong.
