O.N.E. Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One's not enough
I won't stop 'til I've given you up
Clear-eyed as I am, it's hard having fun
It's much easier said than it's done
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to
[Chorus]
No
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Cause I can't have you anymore
But I thought you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Cause I can't take it anymore
[Verse 2]
The room's still now when I'm lying
Cause the well of the night has gone dry
When they ask to behave, I paid them no mind
Now I doubt if I'd have been so kind
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to
[Hook]
No
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Cause I can't have you anymore
But I thought you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Cause I can't take it anymore
[Bridge]
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to
[Hook]
No
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Cause I can't have you anymore
But I thought you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Cause I can't take it anymore
But I thought you should know
[Bridge 2]
And it feels like being tranquilized
I know that separation cures the soul
But I won't stop falling like raindrops
Because I like it when you lose control
I thought you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Cause I can't take it anymore
And it feels like being tranquilized
I know that separation cures the soul
But I won't stop falling like raindrops
Because I like it when you lose control
I thought you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Cause I can't take it anymore
And it feels like being tranquilized
I know the separation kills us so
But I won't stop falling like raindrops
Because I like it when you lose control
