The One

(album: Open Book - 2019)

I was always the one
Throwing my hands up, running and saying I'm done
Heartbreak red handed, holding a smoking gun
Got used to my seat at the table, til the tables turned
And honestly this feels worse

You were always supposed to be my seatbelt when we crashed
Answering the questions that I didn't have to ask
I was supposed to be the concrete heart that couldn't crack
And you were supposed to be the one, yeah

I was always the one
Closed off, independent, never believed in love
Til you tore my walls, brick by brick built me back up
Loved me til I knew who I was
And you proved me wrong until you proved me wrong

You were always supposed to be my seatbelt when we crashed
Answering the questions that I didn't have to ask
I was supposed to be the concrete heart that couldn't crack
And you were supposed to be the one
You were supposed to be the one, yeah

You were supposed to be my anchor
Now you're just a stranger
Running around kissing strangers, oh
I was supposed to be the bad guy
But turns out I couldn't if I tried
And damn it I hate being on the other side

You were always supposed to be my seatbelt when we crashed
Answering the questions that I didn't have to ask
I was supposed to be the concrete heart that couldn't crack
You were always supposed to be on my side of the war
Tell me what the hell were the last five years for
Now we're just broken hearts and slamming doors
And you were supposed to be the one
You were supposed to be the one
You were supposed to be the one
