I Was the One
Heartbreak's Lesson: Unveiling the Painful Lyrics of 'I Was the One'
Lyrics
I was the one who taught her to kiss
I was the person who showed her how to kiss.
The way that she kisses you now
How she kisses you now is the way I taught her.
And you know the way she touches your cheek
I also taught her how to touch your cheek.
Well I taught her how
Her manner of touching your cheek is something I taught her.
I was the one who taught her to cry
I was the one who taught her to express her emotions by crying.
When she wants you under her spell
When she wants to captivate you, she cries.
The sight of her tear drives you out of your mind
Her tears drive you crazy, and I'm the one who taught her this.
I taught her so well
I taught her very well how to cry in a way that affects you deeply.
And then one day I had my love
I had a perfect love at one point.
As perfect as could be
My love was flawless, as good as it could possibly be.
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried
She experienced life, love, laughter, and tears, all for me.
And it was all for me
Everything she did, she did it for my sake.
Oh, I'll never know who taught her to lie
I will never find out who taught her to be deceitful.
And now that it's over and done
Now that the relationship is finished,
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
I was the one
The realization that I was the one affected by the breakup.
And then one day I had my love
Similar to line 11.
As perfect as could be
Reiterating the perfection of the love I once had.
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried
Repeating her experiences, all of which were for me.
And it was all for me
Everything she did in her life was dedicated to me.
Oh, I'll never know who taught her to lie
Reflecting on the unknowingness of who influenced her to lie.
And now that it's over and done
Now that the relationship has concluded,
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart
Who really learned the lesson after she hurt me?
I was the one
Understanding that it was me who suffered from the breakup.
