Story Behind The Song

Told from the perspective of a man who has spent most of his life shaped by leaving relationships. A romanticized version of himself he once believed in but could never fully live up to. He loves deeply, but he's learned to keep love at arm's length, trying to protect a heart that's been bruised, by walking away before love can leave him first.

Song Description

an emotionally honest love song told from the perspective of a man who has lived a restless, complicated life shaped by leaving and longing. He's chased love, freedom, and identity, wearing different versions of himself like the cowboys and heroes he once admired, but none of it ever truly lasted. His heart has taken its share of bruises, teaching him to protect himself by pulling away before love can disappear on its own. When he finds her, everything changes. In her arms, love feels real, grounding, and undeniable--something he didn't believe he was capable of holding onto. Though he knows commitment doesn't come easily for him and the future remains uncertain, one truth is clear: she is the one his heart has been seeking. The song lives in that vulnerable space between fear and faith, capturing the moment when a guarded heart finally recognizes real love and keeps beating because of it.

Lyrics

Verse:
Given the chance I'd stay with you
Do the things we love to do
Cowboys and heroes come and go
Before I leave, I want you to know
Darling you're the one
Darling you're the one.

Pre chorus:
Leave love behind
Before love starts leaving
Protect the heart
Bruised and bleeding.

Chorus:
You're the one
My heart's been seeking
You're the one
My heart takes a beating
And keeps on beating
Because you're the one
You are the one (You're the one)
You are the one (You're the one).

Verse:
I live a life hard to understand
I do what I can because I'm a man
Maybe one day the day will come
If I can be true to only one
Darling you're the one.

Chorus:
You're the one
My heart's been seeking
You're the one
My heart takes a beating
And keeps on beating
Because you're the one
You are the one.

Verse:
When I'm in your loving arms
I can't believe how good you are
I've gone through so many years
In search to find what I found here.
Darling you're the one (You're the one).
You're the one.

Chorus:
You're the one
My heart's been seeking
You're the one
My heart takes a beating
You're the one
My heart's been seeking
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You are the one.
