In the song “One,“ Lewis explores the difficulties of a relationship and the idea that you can give your all, but receive nothing in return. However, it is also emphasised within this song that the heartbreak that is experienced as a result of unconditional love can also be mended by another who has...
[Verse 1]
Long hours and a few dyin' flowers
But you never seem to stick around
How could you let somethin' so good
Go to waste and bleed the colours out?
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know what you got till it's gone
Know when it's right till it's wrong
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
You broke her heart down with ease
Now I'm pickin' up every piece
You must be so hard to please
[Chorus]
I wish I could say
"Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain"
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
I'm sayin' thank you to the one who let her get away
Away
[Verse 2]
She gave you love, but it wasn't enough
You had your mind set out on other things
Can't sleep at night, now you're payin' the price
You let another come and take your place
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know what you got till it's gone
Know when it's right till it's wrong
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
You broke her heart down with ease
Now I'm pickin' up every piece
You must be so hard to please
[Chorus]
I wish I could say
"Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain"
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
I'm sayin' thank you to the one who let her get away
Away
[Bridge]
Thank you to the one who caused her heart to break
I'm thankin' you for givin' me a soul to save
Thank you to the one who let her get away
[Chorus]
You know, I wish I could say
"Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain"
I guess somebody else's loss is another's
Oh, I wish I could say
"Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain"
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
I'm sayin' thank you to the one who let her get away
Away
