lyrics

I loved someone who had my promise
Then half the time he didn’t show up and
When I complained he said I’m sorry
I’m still not sure that you are the one
You’re not the one, no you’re not the one
So I’m not sure I can stick around but
Finding the one, yeah finding the one
is no excuse for letting me down

So lots of folks think there’s this one girl
And all the rest can just go to hell
who solves all your problems, saves the whole world
And doesn’t need any love for herself
but she’s not the one, there isn’t anyone
who doesn’t need that love and care and
I’m not the one, I’m sure I’m not the one;
the work of love is something you’ve gotta share

So I wake up in this empty bed
I’m still running back, I’m still coming home
I pray for wisdom in this aching head
I raise up my hands in the lightning storm and
I am the one yeah I’m the only one
Who can sing my own healing song…

I have these trees, I have these hands
I wake up each morning with love to share and
I’ll put down roots, I’ll share my plans
Only with an equal who choose to care
And you’re not the one, you’re not the only one
Who can heal my heart or set me free but
We are the ones, yeah we might be the ones
who can choose to love and to agree
