Faith Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Oh whoa, whoa oh, whoa)
I try with all my might but still don't understand
Why we ever let it get so out of hand
My arms are reaching out and holding on tight
To what has always felt so right
It's hard to figure out the answers to the questions
One (one) is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
And you still don't get it do you? (Do you?)
I thought (thought) we had all the love
To go it for the long run
So before the damage is done
Let's start back over at one
Lights out when every evening used to get so hot, now
We got so damned distracted we forgot how
To lock the world away and just get lost in
Where you end and where I begin
Love is strong but it's so easy to divide
So boy, let's think about how much is on the line
One (one) is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
And you still don't get it do you? Do you? (Do you?)
I thought (once) we had all the love
To go it for the long run
So before the damage is done
Let's start back over at one
(Ooh oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh, ooh)
Whoa, one is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
And you still don't get it do you? Do you?
I thought (thought) we had all the love
To go it for the long run
So before the damage is done
Let's start back over at
One (one) is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
You still don't get it do you? Do you? (Do you?)
I thought (thought) we had all the love
To go it for the long run
But before the damage is done
Let's start back over at one
Mm, start back over at one (one)
(We got to start back over) yeah, yeah, yeah
(Oh whoa, whoa oh, whoa)
(Get back, got to get back, start all over at one) whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
(Get back, got to get back) oh, get back, start back over at one, yeah
(Oh whoa, whoa oh, whoa) yeah, yeah
(We got to get him back, start all over at one) mm
(One) oh, oh
(Get back, got to get back, start all over at one) oh, yeah
One is breaking into two
(Get back, got to get back, start all over at one) (whoa)
And my heart is turning blue (whoa)
(Get back, got to get back, start all over at one) got to get back, got to get back
One is breaking into two (start it all over)
(Got get back, got to get back, start all over at one) ooh, got to get back
And my heart is turning blue (start it all over)
(Get back, got to get back, start all over at one)
One is breaking into two (one)
(Get back, got to get back, start all over at one) oh, one
And my heart is turning blue
(Get back, got to get back, start all over at one) yeah, yeah, yeah
One is breaking into two (whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa)
(Get back, got to get back, start all over at one)
And my heart is turning blue (whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa)
(Get back, got to get back, start all over at one)
