Only one
Heartfelt Struggle: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in Sani Knight's 'Only One'
Lyrics
I know you wanna say something to me
I am aware that you want to communicate something to me.
It hurts to see you falling on your knees
It pains me to witness you experiencing a difficult situation or facing a challenge.
Your knees
This emphasizes the physical aspect of the difficulty, perhaps suggesting vulnerability or submission.
Now I know what you are
I now understand your true nature or character.
What a show you put on
Expressing admiration or criticism for a performance or display of behavior.
Was it hard to see
Asking if it was challenging for the other person to perceive a specific aspect or truth.
That I was only tryna be the only one
I was attempting to be the exclusive person in your life.
I was only tryna be the only
Reiteration of the desire to be the only significant individual in the other person's life.
You said you would never lie
You promised not to deceive, to tell the truth.
You said everything is fine
You assured that everything was okay.
Then why did you make me cry
Questioning why, despite assurances, there were actions or situations leading to emotional distress.
I tried being there for you every night I died
Expressing effort in being supportive every night, with the consequence of feeling emotionally drained.
I can't even look in your eyes I'm surprised
The inability to make eye contact indicates surprise or disappointment in the other person's actions.
You don't even wanna believe
Not wanting to accept or acknowledge certain actions or truths.
The things that you've done to me
Addressing the negative impact of the other person's actions on the speaker.
I know you wanna say something to me
Repetition of the awareness that the other person has something to communicate.
It hurts to see you falling on your knees
Reiteration of the emotional distress caused by witnessing the other person facing challenges.
Your knees
Reemphasizing the physical aspect of the difficulty, possibly indicating a plea or vulnerability.
Now I know what you are
Confirming the realization of the true nature or character of the other person.
What a show you put on
Commenting on the performative aspect of the other person's actions or behavior.
Was it hard to see
Asking if it was challenging for the other person to perceive the speaker's desire to be exclusive.
That I was only tryna be the only one
Reiteration of the intent to be the only significant person in the other person's life.
I was only tryna be the only one
Reemphasizing the desire to be the sole, exclusive individual in the other person's life.
I was only tryna be the only
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to be the only significant person in the other person's life.
