Lyrics

"You Were (The One)"
Music/Lyrics by John Kelly Wilson

Verse
I wanted love
No matter what
Waited forever
Enough was enough

It'd been so long
So I overlooked
Too much was wrong
I gave and you took

Chorus
You were the one
Until you weren't
Too much to overcome

Things I never saw
Finally seen, brought so much hurt
You were the one, until you weren't

Verse
What I hoped
Could be so good
If all I did
Was what lovers should

Trying to reach
What was never there
Now it's done
And you're not here

Chorus
You were the one
Until you weren't
Too much to overcome

Things I never saw
Finally seen, brought so much hurt
You were the one, until you weren't

Bridge
Wanting yet knowing
Are such different things
Let my emotions get in the way
Of the reality you'd bring

Guitar Break

Chorus
You were the one
Until you weren't
Too much to overcome

Things I never saw
Finally seen, brought so much hurt
You were the one, until you weren't
You were the one, until you weren't
You were the one
Until you weren't
