I'm Not The Only One
Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox feat. Casey Abrams 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
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...
I know I'm not the only one
The song "I'm Not the Only One" by Scott Bradlee and Postmodern Jukebox featuring Casey Abrams is a sad ballad about a person who has been betrayed by their lover, but still can't let go of their relationship. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about the vows they made with their significant other, but it quickly becomes apparent that their partner has let them down. The singer has had doubts for months, but has been trying to deny them and hold onto their relationship. However, the pain of the betrayal is too much to bear.
Despite the hurt, the singer admits that they still need their partner in their life. The partner tries to brush off the hurt by calling the singer crazy, but even though the singer knows that they are not the only one, they can't let go. The partner has been emotionally unavailable and the reason becomes clear - their heart is unobtainable. The singer realises that they may not be enough for their partner, but they can't help loving them anyway.
Overall, "I'm Not the Only One" is a heartbreaking song about the struggle to let go of someone who has hurt you deeply, and the confusion that comes with still loving them despite it all.
