Would've Been The One lyrics

[Spoken]

Are we recording?

[Verse 1]

Enlightening charmer, sent from where

A Casanova, lovely glare

And I was chosen, I was there

The wells get deeper, more unfolds

And at the bottom, there she goes

But wells are endless, I've found more

[Pre-Chorus]

Flowers, candy, flirty late nights on the speed dial, that was you too

Dinner, movie, sweetheart kisses, he don't dance, but tangos with two

I thought you plus me divided me from him

But I discovered many more and more and again

[Chorus]

And you don't know, you fill many spaces

And she don't know, she's one of many lies

And he don't know, how he stole many places

And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried

I would've been the one

[Verse 2]

I held the title, wore the crown

I was the trophy, while you ducked down

And she was cool with just fooling around

(Yes she was, yes she was, yes she was)

Now number four was there to ride

And five was crazy, his wild child

And when we're rocky he calls number nine

[Pre-Chorus]

Flowers, candy, flirty late nights on the speed dial, that was you too

Dinner, movie, sweetheart kisses, he don't dance, but tangos with two

I thought you plus me divided me from him

But I discovered many more and more and again

[Chorus]

And you don't know, you fill many spaces

And she don't know, she's one of many lies

And he don't know, how he steals many places

And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried

I would've been the one

[Bridge]

I was the one, yes I was the one

And yes that was my name inked up on his arm

And if he loved me that much and still did me wrong

(You feeling sorry, but you are holding on)

I was the one, yes I was the one

Key word is was, yes I was the one

I figured out he was empty on my own

(He had to find the answer in something or someone)

[Chorus]

And you don't know, you fill many spaces

And she don't know, she's one of many lies

And he don't know, he stole many places

And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried

I would've been the one

Do do do doo do do

I would've been the one
