Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're only a man
It's only right you let the tears fall
Know you're strong but you can't take it all
You just lost one
[Verse 2]
You're just a man
Don't be scared to let the angels fly
Just let go 'cause it's your time to cry
You just lost one
You just lost one
You just lost one
You just lost one
[Verse 3]
Said that we would never break
Said that we would never falter
I thought that we were doing great
I thought we'd make it to the altar
Love the critical acclaim
I knew that it would catapult ya
Hands on the table where the pepper and the salt are
Only thing missing rocks bigger than Gibraltar
[Verse 4]
Hey, said that if it didn't kill me
Then it would only make us stronger
But in our final hour, will we
Be wishing we could stay for longer?
Baby, it will make us somber
Wanna live or die another day
You better change your name to Pascal Payet
You'll always be the one that got away
[Verse 5]
And I'm over you and you're over me
You overdue and I'm overseas
'Cause I called you names and you phoned police
Said men are all the same, there's loads of mes
We arguing along Dover Street
At least try and smile with these photos, please
And now you're all alone, cup of Ovaltine
While I'm with the one who I'm supposed to be
[Verse 6]
You just lost one
You just lost one
You just lost one
[Verse 7]
You know, they say, it's better to have loved and lost
Than to have never loved at all
I don't even wanna watch you cry anymore
Just gonna let the tears fall
[Verse 8]
Congratulations on the first
I wonder how we would have turned out
Some relationships fat people
Some of them never, ever work out
I put the stars all around you
I never let you take your purse out
But when everybody turned up
Only one of us was turned down
[Verse 9]
And girl, where you going with that attitude?
We both feel the same and it's natural
I ain't leaving 'cause I hate you
I'm leaving 'cause I have to
A half empty glass, two capsules
Guess I'll never, ever know the exact truth
If you can hear me, this is at you
I woulda had her, she had you
[Verse 10]
You just lost one
You just lost one
You just lost one
[Verse 11]
How am I supposed to be majestic?
How am I supposed to be mature?
When I've been tryna move towards you
From the moment I could crawl
I'll still catch you when you fall
And I'll still answer when you call
Guess we didn't understand the language
Of the writings on the wall
[Verse 12]
Missing posters, my heart, girl, my love as a reward
Speeding, switching, Richard's gears
While I'm trying not to stall
Things will never be the same
My back against the wall
'Cause the loser puts the blame
But the winner takes it all, yeah
[Verse 13]
You're only a man
It's only right you let the tears fall
Know you're strong but you can't take it all
You just lost one
You're just a man
Don't be scared to let the angels fly
Just let go 'cause it's your time to cry
You just lost one
[Verse 14]
You just lost one
You just lost one
You just lost one
