Lying awake
If I close my eyes
You're stood there crying
(Then you turn away)
The memory haunts me
But there wasn't a choice
That's the offer that I made
(Come with me or stay, you turned away)
It's not like I meant to hurt you
I had to break my own heart too
There was nothing I could do
The lie I've been clinging to
You are the one
Who slipped through my soul
If I'd only found the courage
Could have worked it out somehow
But our time ran out
All this time I've been running away from you
Much too scared to face the truth
I was wrong to make you choose
But I was young and, I thought
The centre of your world
(Come with me or stay, you turned away)
Now, all of a sudden
Caught a glimpse of you today
Arm in arm with someone else
Is that the one who took my place?
I just cannot face
That you are the one
Who slipped through my soul
If I'd only found the courage
Could have worked it out somehow
I'm tired like a fighter
Trying hard to beat the count
You're the one, yes, you're the one without a doubt
You are the one
I wish was in my arms
You're so close yet still so far
And it's tearing me apart
And there's nothing I can do now
That can change the way things are
You are the one and I was wrong to break your heart
Wrong to let you go
