The One
Kristian Kostov Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I need my space you just won’t leave
You paint my love in black and blue
I can go another round if it’s with you
My friends think that I’m crazy
I feel shit, it’s amazing
I could never quit it, I could never give it up
You do all the things I like
Break my heart and twist the knife
Treat me once, but trick me twice
You do all the things I like
Play me like you roll the dice
Stay, but leave by morning light
I fall for it every time
You do all the things I like
My friends stay pretty and lonely
Everybody wants love, they don’t want pain
It gets so quiet when it’s only me
Everybody wants fun, they don’t want peace
My friends think that I’m crazy
I feel shit, it’s amazing
I could never quit it, I could never give it up
Cause you do the things I like
You do all the things I like
Break my heart and twist the knife
Treat me once but trick me twice
You do all the things I like
Play me like you roll the dice
Stay, but leave by morning light
I fall for it every time
You do all the things I like
You do all the things I like
Break my heart and twist the knife
Treat me once but trick me twice
You do all the things I like
The lyrics to Kristian Kostov's song "The One" depict a tumultuous relationship in which the singer is drawn to their partner despite the pain they inflict. The opening lines, "You walk away when I want you / When I need my space you just won’t leave" convey a sense of unbalance and tension within the relationship. The singer's partner seems to disregard their needs and boundaries, "You paint my love in black and blue." Despite this, the singer is willing to engage in the relationship again and again, "I can go another round if it’s with you."
The chorus of the song repeats the contrast between the singer's friends' opinions of the relationship and their personal draw to it. The singer's friends believe they are "crazy," while the singer describes feeling "shit" but also "amazing." The partner in question continues to do things that the singer enjoys, but the relationship remains volatile. The repeated line "You do all the things I like" highlights the singer's willingness to endure the painful aspects of the relationship to engage in the enjoyable ones.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of conflict and darkness in the singer's relationship, with a touch of addiction and inevitable hurt.

Treat me once but trick me twice
You keep manipulating me
You do all the things I like
You continue your behavior and I can't stop coming back
