The One
Love's Deceptive Game: Unraveling Jack Connorz's 'The One' Tale
Lyrics
I was under the impression that you wanted me
Feeling that the other person desired a relationship
Walk on beaches 'til the sun burns in the third degree
Sharing intimate moments until they become painful
Conversations back and forth until we fell asleep
Engaging in deep conversations until falling asleep
Thought I'd finally found the one that I would get to keep
Believing they found a lasting partner
But it's the same old game that you like to play
Noticing a recurring pattern of game-playing
With anybody, with everybody
Engaging in similar behavior with everyone
My heart broke in two because I fell for you
Heartbreaking realization of being deeply invested while the other wasn't
And you felt nothing, you saw it coming
Realization that the other person foresaw the outcome
Cause baby it's you, the one
Addressing the person directly, blaming them for the pain
The one who led me on and turned away
Pointing out how they led on and then rejected
(How could I fall for it, how could I fall for it)
Expressing disbelief in falling for the deception
Baby it's you, the one
Reiterating the identification of the person causing pain
The one who made my sky the darkest gray
Describing the emotional impact caused by the person
(How could I fall for you, how could I fall for you)
Expressing disbelief at falling for the person
I don't know what to do or what to say to you, to you
Feeling lost and unsure how to address the situation
How come I can't say what I want to say to you, to you
Experiencing difficulty in expressing thoughts to the person
This summer could've been a dream I'd never wake up from
Reflecting on a potentially idyllic time that turned sour
But instead I learned exactly why you shouldn't come
Learning the harsh reality behind the idealized situation
Thought that romance was what you were really looking for
Mistakenly thinking the other person sought genuine romance
You just wanted me alone behind your bedroom door
Realizing the person's true intention was mere seclusion
But it's the same old game that you like to play
Reiterating the repetitive nature of the person's behavior
With anybody, with everybody
Highlighting the person's consistent conduct with others
My heart broke in two because I fell for you
Reiterating the heartbreak caused by genuine investment
And you felt nothing, you saw it coming
Realizing the person was emotionally detached
Cause baby it's you, the one
Re-emphasizing the person's responsibility for the pain
The one who led me on and turned away
Pointing out the manipulation and rejection
(How could I fall for it, how could I fall for it)
Expressing disbelief at falling for the deception (repeated)
Baby it's you, the one
Reiterating the identification of the person causing pain (repeated)
The one who made my sky the darkest gray
Describing the emotional impact caused by the person (repeated)
(How could I fall for you, how could I fall for you)
Expressing disbelief at falling for the person (repeated)
I don't know what to do or what to say to you, to you
Feeling lost and unsure how to address the situation (repeated)
How come I can't say what I want to say to you, to you
Experiencing difficulty in expressing thoughts to the person (repeated)
Maybe if you just treated me right you would be more okay than right now
Suggesting that proper treatment would benefit both parties
Maybe if you just come crawling back I'll show you and I'll teach you how
Openness to teach and showcase the impact of their actions
Cause baby it's you, the one
Re-emphasizing the manipulation and rejection (repeated)
The one who led me on and turned away
Pointing out the emotional turmoil caused (repeated)
Baby it's you, the one
Reiterating the identification of the person causing pain (repeated)
The one who made my sky the darkest gray
Describing the emotional impact caused by the person (repeated)
I don't know what to do or what to say to you, to you
Feeling lost and unsure how to address the situation (repeated)
How come I can't say what I want to say to you, to you
Experiencing difficulty in expressing thoughts to the person (repeated)
