The One

Today I wrote some of the best lyrics I've ever written (at least I think so anyway) whilst at work. I'm not going to lie, it's not the happiest song in the world but it is about as genuine as I can make it. The song is about "the one" and how sometimes you feel like you've already met them and then lost them, It's about losing love and the doubt you are plunged in to when that happens. It's part of a series of songs I have written about losing love and trying your best to get over it. So here it is. Enjoy my words.

Tom RDD - The One


You left me when I needed your light
I fell to my knees and wept through the night
You left and I’ve been broken since that day
You left even when I begged you to stay

I never finished my letter to you
But now those words are too good to be used
Wasted on someone who didn’t care enough
And to say those words now, breaks me

It’s true I thought you were the one
And I say this even though I’m still young
You’ve left me broken ever since that day
You left even when I begged you to stay

You did not think
You sent me to the brink
I was ready to give you my life
I remember when you said you’d one day be my wife

I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul
You were the one who made me feel whole
But now the world means less to me without you here
I’m no longer whole now you’re not near

I won’t be second best
I waited too long
And maybe I was right
But what if I was wrong?

It’s true I thought you were the one
And I say this even though I’m still young
You’ve left me broken ever since that day
You left even when I begged you to stay

And maybe one day I’ll remember how
To live my life without this cloud
That still remains even now
You broke me down, I hope you are proud

I won’t be second best
I waited too long
And maybe I was right
But what if I was wrong?
