Lyrics
One For Me
I found a page that she?d torn from in her diary
It showed a part of her in a way that I had never seen
There was all her love written out for me to see
She gave me her whole heart she just did it too carefully?too carefully
I?m sure she put it there knowing one day I would find
This one single page she?d chosen to leave behind
She left it in a book she said someday I should read
I think she put it there on day she decided to leave, that?s what I believe
chorus
And as surely as I?ve lost her, I surely had her once
Why couldn?t I just have told her, that she was the only one
One for me, one for me
Why did I have to act as if I would not care
If I turned around and one day she was no longer there?
What was I protecting, what did I stand to lose?
That I haven?t lost already, playing by my prideful rules?
I?m such a prideful fool
repeat chorus
