The literary purpose of this song is to remind people there is not “only one” interpretation to lyrics. The protagonists purpose for the song is to tell her he’s breaking up with her, all while writing it “dishonestly” so it sounds like a love song on the surface, sounds like she’s his “only one”....
[Verse 1]
Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel so broken up (So broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just wanna tell you so you know
[Chorus]
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
But there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
[Verse 2]
I made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
And something's breakin' up (Breakin' up)
I feel like givin' up (Like givin' up)
I won't walk out until you know
[Chorus]
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
But there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note for you, my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go, and you will find someone
[Chorus]
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
But there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one
[Outro]
You're my only one
My only one
You're my only one
You are my only, my only one
