Lyrics

The One

Jodie Leslie


Are you listening?
This one?s for you
For The One I never knew
Passed down through the ages
A bitter thorn
Kept you scarred, took your hope,
Then left you torn

But I saw it all with little eyes
And little arms that cared
I thought I could fix you
If I could just love you enough
It wasn?t fair

Stepping into time
25 years
I?m sitting here wishing I could fix you
If I could just cry enough tears

So are you gonna live your life
Thinking that it?s through
You say you?re too old
And no one wants you,
But I do

You say if you could do it again
You?d leave it all behind
Well your life isn?t through,
And that?s the truth
But no one can change your mind for you

Are you listening?
This one?s for you
For The One
I wish I knew
