You Are the One For Me
Peterson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over things you said to me; I couldn't even sleep
You forgot your promises, every single vow
All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
How can I forget the hours that I worried through
Wondering the live long day just what next thing to do?
In those days you never thought anything of me
But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning
I cried for you; what a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me

I remember other days how I used to weep
I recall the past when I used to cry
Over things you said to me; I couldn't even sleep
Your words hurt me so deeply I couldn't rest at night
You forgot your promises, every single vow
You broke all your promises and betrayed my trust
All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now
You mocked me, but now the tables have turned
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
I shed tears for you, and now it's your time to feel pain
Every road has a turning
Life is full of twists and turns
That's one thing you're learning
You are realizing this now
I cried for you; what a fool I used to be
I was foolish to cry over you
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found someone better than you, with more beautiful eyes
I found a heart just a little bit truer
I found someone who is more sincere and genuine
How can I forget the hours that I worried through
It's impossible for me to forget the time I spent worrying about you
Wondering the live long day just what next thing to do?
Pondering all day long, wondering what to do next
But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free
I was once yours to control, but now I am free
