The One
Simon Patterson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wait to hear your final breath
Before we place the phone
I wait to see your final smile
Before I'm on my own

How many lies are left unsaid
How many lies are left unsaid
How many dreams are falling short
Repeat

And we're singing louder than bombs can fall
And we're falling faster than light
And we're hurting harder than ever before
How does it feel to be the one

How does it feel




How does it feel
How does it feel to be the one
