I'm Not The Only One
MC Flipside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can′t believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts

For months on end I′ve had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you here

You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don′t think I know what you′ve done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

You′ve been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine

You say I'm crazy
′Cause you don't think I know what you′ve done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough
You've made me realize my deepest fear
By lying and tearing us up

You say I′m crazy
′Cause you don't think I know what you′ve done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

I know I′m not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know




And I know, no
I know I′m not the only one

Overall Meaning

In MC Flipside’s song “I’m Not the Only One,” he sings about a vow that he made with his lover. The vow is for better or for worse but he is struggling to believe that she has broken it. He has been having doubts for months but has been denying them. He wishes the pain would end but he knows he still needs her in his life. The chorus speaks to the idea that he is not the only one suffering, and that even though his lover may call him crazy for knowing what she has done, he is not alone in his hurt.


In the second stanza, he acknowledges how his lover has become emotionally unavailable and he has realized that her heart is unobtainable. He knows that she has hurt him deeply but he still loves her, and the realization of his deepest fear has come from her lies and deception. The chorus repeats, underscoring the theme of the song again, that he is not alone in his pain.

You and me, we made a vow
We promised each other to be together for better or for worse


For better or for worse
Through good and bad times, we will be committed to each other


I can’t believe you let me down
I am surprised and hurt that you broke our promise


But the proof's in the way it hurts
The pain I feel shows that what you did really happened


For months on end I've had my doubts
I have been uncertain about our relationship for a long time


Denying every tear
I tried to hide my emotions from you and myself


I wish this would be over now
I want our relationship to end


But I know that I still need you here
Despite everything, I still want you with me


You say I'm crazy
You think I am irrational for suspecting you


‘Cause you don’t think I know what you’ve done
You believe that I am unaware of your actions


But when you call me baby
When you use a term of endearment, I realize you still want me

I understand that you may be unfaithful with someone else


You’ve been so unavailable
You have been emotionally distant from me


Now sadly I know why
I have discovered the reason behind your unavailability

You do not want to commit to me or anyone else


Even though Lord knows you kept mine
Despite your lack of commitment, I still gave you my heart


I have loved you for many years
I have been deeply in love with you for a long time


Maybe I am just not enough
Perhaps I am not what you need in a partner


You’ve made me realize my deepest fear
Your actions have shown me my greatest insecurity


By lying and tearing us up
Your deception and infidelity have ruined our relationship


I know I’m not the only one
I am aware that I am not the only person you are seeing


And I know
I have come to accept the truth


And I know
I am aware


And I know
I understand


And I know
I have learned


And I know
I have accepted


And I know, no
I have learned for certain


I know I'm not the only one
I am sure that there is someone else

Dont mind it, not bad, certainly not 'underground' as many people seem to think though, just because something hasn't made it into the top 40 doesn't mean its underground!!! Quite a commercial style beat actually
