“One Minute” served as the album’s second single in Australia on September 18, 2007. Clarkson originally wrote it for her second studio album, Breakaway; however, it did not make the final track listing. It was then reworked for My December, being produced by David Kahne.
[Verse 1]
You're going crazy, running on empty
You can't make up your mind
You tried to hide it, but you had to say it
Restless all this time
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So completely drained from everything that's in your life
It's so wrong, but you had to scream every thought you'd kept inside
[Chorus]
One minute you laugh
The next minute you're slowly sinking into something black
I get the feeling that lately nothing ever really lasts
I keep tryna get up, but I keep falling back
And you love, and you hate, and you wait
'Cause one minute goes fast
[Verse 2]
You just can't escape it, you're losing patience
You wonder what went wrong
Everything changes, happy then jaded
Always a different song
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Playing in your head just when you think you've got it down
Out of nowhere, you realize it's different music playing now
[Chorus]
One minute you laugh
The next minute you're slowly sinking into something black
I get the feeling that lately nothing ever really lasts
I keep tryna get up, but I keep falling back
And you love, and you hate, and you wait
'Cause one minute goes fast
[Bridge]
One minute goes fast
One minute goes fast
Fast
[Chorus]
One minute you laugh
The next minute you're slowly sinking into something black
I get the feeling that lately nothing ever really lasts
I keep tryna get up, but I keep falling back
And you love, and you hate, and you wait
'Cause one minute goes, one minute goes, one minute goes fast
