And once again I'm on my knees.
I'll take what you can give,
Be it love, or just
A sad imitation.
You don't know why the things you do
Always seem to come back,
Torment you,
Haunted by
The one
You can't let go.
And once again it all plays out,
And why am I surprised
That you're
The one
Who's right this time;
Even when you're wrong?
And once again you look to me
For something you don't know you need.
Think back to when I told you
That every day's a tragedy when
In your mind
The one
Is just a name you don't remember.
And back to when we first knew
That something here between us
Wasn't going to fade away.
Back when we were forced to look it in the face,
Imagine all the whens and wheres and hows,
And try to recognize
The one
So familiar, a little window to the past.
When everything was simple.
You ask yourself what it's worth to you:
The one
Or no one.
Or neither.
