The One

You were the one

Knew the worst but saw the best

You were the one

You were the one

But I got you and I walked away

She can't be caught

They said better man had tried and they all thought

That just like them that I would be turned away

Just another name on a list of dumb mistakes

You'd never make

But I had time

And a plan to make you mine

I'd be the man

Who'd show you what it was

To fall in love

But what I didn't realize was...

You were the one

Knew the worst but saw the best

You were the one

My mom and sisters said

You were the One

But I got you and I walked away

I walked away

But for a time

Everything was you and I

You were the dream

And it woke me to the truth

Showed me all the proof of a love

Worth far to much to lose

But I got lost in these city lights

And I forgot the way this city lies about it streets

Chasing them left me incomplete

Too blind to see

You were the one

Knew the worst but saw the best

You were the one

My mom and sisters said

You were the one

But I got you and I walked away

I walked away

I know we can't go back

I just hope you know that I have not forgotten anything

I still see you standing there

That ribbon in your hair in a crowd that disappeared as you kissed me

I know we can't go back

I just hope you know that I have not forgotten anything

I still see you standing there

That ribbon in your hair in a crowd that disappeared as you kissed me

You were the one

Knew the worst, but saw the best

You were the one

My mom and sisters said

You were the one

But I got you and I walked away
