She's got a pretty smile
It covers up the poison that she hides
She walks around in circles in my head
Waiting for a chance to break me
A chance to take me down
Now I see the burden you gave me
Is too much to carry
Too much to bury inside

I guess you're the only one
That nobody changes
I guess you're the only one
Left standing when everything else goes down
You're still the only one
Yeah you're still the only one

It's all shallow and all so appealing now
I'm up to my ankles and I'm drowning anyway in a sea of
Sarcastic faces
Familiar places
Everything looks quite the same here it's
All confusingly amusing
Bitter and tainted
The picture you painted to me

I guess you're the only one
That nobody changes
Guess you're the only one
Left standing when everything else goes down
You're still the only one
Who will never change faces
I guess you're the only one
Left standing when everything else goes down

Just cause it's all in your head
Doesn't mean it has to be in mine
Don't believe what you said
Still can't get it out of my mind
I've tried to find myself an approval
I've already been there
Already done that it
Got me nowhere it
Brought me nothing but a good place to hide in
No one to confide in now

I guess you're the only one
That nobody changes
I guess you're the only one
That will never change faces
I guess you're the only one



Behind the Song:
'I wrote 'Only One' right after someone in my life did something I felt was totally wrong. It was a really tough time for me. I have these trails in my life, like my dad leaving and my not being with him anymore, and then this man, who I really looked up to, failing. 'Only One' is about how sometimes people are just not there for you and you have to look somewhere else for guidance.' - Jason Wade (Lifehouse)
