One of Us
Heartbreak Harmony: Unveiling the Emotional Symphony in 'One of Us'
Lyrics
They passed me by, all of those great romances
Reflecting on missed opportunities in past romantic relationships.
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
Feeling that the other person deprived the speaker of deserved chances.
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
Having a clear understanding of the situation, finding things initially easy.
And so I dealt you the blow
Dealing a decisive blow or taking a significant action in response.
One of us had to go
Acknowledging that one person had to leave the relationship.
Now it's different, I want you to know
Expressing a change in the speaker's perspective or feelings.
One of us is crying
Emphasizing the emotional impact of the separation.
One of us is lying
Suggesting that one person is not truthful or genuine in their emotions.
In her lonely bed
Describing a sense of loneliness in bed.
Staring at the ceiling
Imagining the other person lying in bed, contemplating their actions.
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
Expressing a desire to be elsewhere, away from the current emotional state.
One of us is lonely
Indicating that someone is experiencing loneliness after the separation.
One of us is only
Suggesting that someone is pretending to be okay when they are not.
Waiting for a call
Waiting for a communication that may alleviate their emotional state.
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Feeling sorry for oneself and acknowledging a sense of foolishness and insignificance.
Wishing she had never left at all
Regretting the decision to leave the relationship.
I saw myself as a concealed attraction
Perceiving oneself as a hidden attraction or overlooked aspect in the relationship.
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Believing that the other person kept the speaker away from excitement and engagement.
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
Comparing oneself to a stubborn and misunderstood child.
That's how I started the show
Describing the initiation of a situation that led to the separation.
One of us had to go
Acknowledging that one person had to leave for the situation to change.
Now I've changed and I want you to know
Expressing personal growth and a shift in perspective.
One of us is crying
Reiterating the emotional impact, suggesting ongoing distress.
One of us is lying
Suspecting dishonesty or insincerity in the emotional response.
In her lonely bed
Describing a lonely state in bed, repeating the emotional impact.
Staring at the ceiling
Imagining the other person in a similar emotional state.
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
Expressing a wish to be somewhere else, away from the current emotional situation.
One of us is lonely
Highlighting the loneliness experienced by one person after the separation.
One of us is only
Suggesting that one person is pretending to be okay when they are not.
Waiting for a call
Waiting for communication that may alleviate their emotional state.
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Feeling sorry for oneself and acknowledging a sense of foolishness and insignificance.
Wishing she had never left at all
Regretting the decision to leave the relationship.
Never left at all
Repeating the regretful sentiment of never leaving at all.
Staring at the ceiling
Reiterating the emotional state of staring at the ceiling, feeling trapped.
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
Expressing a desire to be somewhere else, away from the current emotional state.
One of us is lonely
Highlighting the ongoing loneliness experienced by one person.
One of us is only
Suggesting that one person is pretending to be okay when they are not.
Waiting for a call
Waiting for communication that may alleviate their emotional state.
