Post 99: You're Not the One (8/9/05)

You’re not the one (8/9/05)

I open my eyes to a rising sun

But everything has come undone
Living inside this empty space
All I see is a lonely face
Staring back at me
But what else could there be

(You’re not the one

Though your memory
Of when I thought it would all go right
Haunts my darkest nights
I wanted so hard to believe
It wasn’t real now I know
You were right to let me go
You’re the closest I’ve ever been
I’m wondering if I’ll ever feel it again)

But I don’t know how to make a start

Every fire takes a spark
Will I ever feel my beating heart
Transformed to a work of art
Like only love can do
Will I ever find something true

(chorus)

All I have of love

Are memories of something that was never meant to be
I know you’re not the one

(chorus)

Feeling so much older now

And nothing has worked up til now
I thought by now I’d have a wife
But all I have is lonely nights
I’m so alone
Thinking about having kids more and more now
But I’ve got no one to love
