You're the One
Flatt Lonesome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What happened to the one you met with all that charm?
So how's it feel now that you're the one it's happened to?
These lyrics are questioning the listener about how they feel now that they are the one who has fallen in love. The tone of the lyrics seems to be somewhat sarcastic, as if the singer is saying "Well, now you know what it's like." This could suggest that the listener had been giving advice or trying to help the singer with their own romantic troubles in the past.
The second line, "What happened to the one you met with all that charm?" is a bit more intriguing. It seems to suggest that the person the listener fell in love with was putting on a show or pretending to be someone they're not. Alternatively, it could mean that the charm has worn off and the listener is now seeing the person's true colors. Either way, the question is meant to make the listener think about how their own experience is different from what they thought it would be.
Overall, these lyrics are about the surprise and unpredictability of falling in love. The singer is questioning the listener's experience and trying to make them think about what it means to be the one who has fallen in love.

Need to hear this style on Country Music Radio. Unfortunately the industry only plays same old '24 in a row' Nashville pop guys. Oh well, their loss. Thanks Flatt Lonesome and You Tube for this wonderful alternative

I had the great fortune to see them perform in a small venue. A church. Maybe in 2015.

This song takes me back to a Bluegrass Band I fell in love with and they just quit. Left me hang'n. Right in the feels........

Wish I had a dollar for every time I've come here to play this song over and over again. Ps. She sounds a lot like Sarah Evans.
