Not The Only One
Fiction Factory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A sound that cuts to hear
And where is love in this cool war?
I'm haunted by, I'm daunted by
A dream (dream)
A dream (dream)
You won't deny
A dream (dream)
Your dream (dream)
You won't deny
The source of all that's good inside
You're not the only one to live this way
Look at the reason from your knees
You're not the only one to live this way
And dreams will bring you to your knees
And where is love in this cool war?
With words of steel you can't conceal
A dream (dream)
Your dream (dream)
The voice inside
Where all that's left is no surprise
You're not the only one to live this way
Look at the reason from your knees
You're not the only one to live this way
And dreams will bring you to your knees
You're fading
You're not the only one to live this way
Look at the reason from your knees
You're not the only one to live this way
And dreams will bring you to your knees
For love is strong in this cruel world
And most of you, what's closer to
A dream (dream)
Your dream (dream)
A last goodbye
To every thought you let me fight
(You're not the only one)
I'm haunted by
(You're not the only one)
That I'm daunted by
With words of steel you
(You're not the only one)
Can't conceal but
You're not the only
(Not the only one)
You're not the only one to live this way
Look at the reason from your knees
You're not the only one to live this way
And dreams will bring you to your knees
You're not the only one to live this way
Look at the reason from your knees
You're not the only one to live this way
And dreams will bring you to your knees
You're not the only one to live this way
Look at the reason from your knees
You're not the only one to live this way
And dreams will bring you to your knees
