I know you've let me down before
It's just never hurt this way
I've seen your face, I've seen the scars behind your eyes

I'm gonna ask you tonight

And if your answer is "no"

A thousand memories walkin' out that door
You'll leave this place far and behind
A second chance won't cross your mind


I won't ask you why, I won't ask you where
I'll never be the one, I'll never be [x2]


And if you leave me far behind
I'll see your arms and I will wait

I feel the air, I feel your emptiness around me
It just can't be too late


The one [x6]
I can't stand to dream without you
I can't stand to live without you


I tell myself you'll never leave me
You will always be my baby

I will never leave you empty
I know all the answers for you
Lean on me I'll never leave you

You will always be my baby
I will never leave you empty


I just wanna be the one, I just wanna be the one
I'll never be the one, I'll never be [x2]
