I'm Not The Only One
Ruth Anna Mendoza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For better or for worse
I can′t believe you let me down
But the proof's in a way it hurts
For months on end I′ve had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
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
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, know
I know I'm not the only one
Ruth Anna Mendoza’s song I'm Not the Only One is about a relationship that is falling apart due to the betrayal of one partner. The song starts off with the lines “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 a way it hurts,” which clearly suggest that the couple took vows to stay together no matter what the circumstances might be, but one of them has failed to live up to their promise.
The following lines raise concerns about hardship and doubt the singer is going through and how he/she is trying to hold on in spite of the situation. The line “You’ve been so unavailable, now sadly, I know why, your heart is unobtainable, even though the Lord knows you kept mine,” signifies that the singer is hurt by the situation because the other partner is not available for them. The singer also harbors a fear that he/she may not be enough for the other partner.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “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,” which emphasizes how the singer knows that the other partner has been unfaithful, but they keep denying it. The entire song is a heart-wrenching portrayal of the pain of betrayal and the difficulty of coming to terms with the fact that their relationship is over.
