I'll Be the One
Unveiling Life's Truths: I'll Be the One by Alice Peacock
Lyrics
Sometimes when I open my mouth
Sometimes, I speak without certainty
It's anyone's guess what might come out
Uncertainty surrounds what I express
Last one to know is usually me
I'm often the last to understand
My life is an open book
I am transparent about my life
I'll spell it out for you, you can take a look
I'll explain it clearly for you to see
You might not like what you see
What you see might not be appealing
REFRAIN:
(Refrain begins)
And hey, I'm not what you're looking for
I'm not the person you seek
I can tell you that so much more
There's more to me than meets the eye
CHORUS:
(Chorus begins)
I'll be the one
I'll be the cause of your tears
Who makes you cry
I'll be the first to end the relationship
I'll be the first to say goodbye
You'll seek me out
You'll look for me
But I'll have already left
And I'll be gone
I'll definitely depart
I will be, I will be the one
I will be the one responsible
The girl in the sunshine does
A carefree girl holds inner emptiness
With her backpack full of emptiness
She won't mislead despite her situation
Won't be misleading you today
No false impressions from her
She knows from the soles of her shoes
She's aware from head to toe
There's a lot more than lonely blues
More than just feeling blue and alone
Seems that the only thing she plays
Loneliness dominates her life
REFRAIN:
(Refrain repeated)
And hey, I'm not the girl you used to know
I've changed from who you knew
And that's why you gotta let me go, baby
That's why it's time to move on
CHORUS:
(Chorus repeated)
I'll be the one
I'll be the reason behind your pain
Who makes you cry
I'll initiate the separation
I'll be the first to say goodbye
You'll seek me out, but I'll have left
You'll look for me
I'll be absent when you look for me
And I'll be gone, yeah
I will be the one who's absent
Coz I will be, I will be the one
(Reinforces responsibility for departure)
Bridge:
(Bridge begins)
I know these aren't the words you wanted me to say
I know this isn't what you want to hear
But you're got to give it to yourself before you give it all away
You need to introspect before giving everything away
Repeat Chorus
(Chorus repeated)
