ONE

THE ONE [Dark Bedroom Pop • Melodic Alternative Pop • Deep, Youthful Male Vocals] [Intro] [Soft electric guitar, dreamy reverb, faint radio static, low whispered vocals] You don't need me... Do you really think about me? If you don't give a crap, Well, you should just leave while you still can. (Quiet, sarcastic laugh) Yeah... Whatever. [Verse 1] [Muted guitar riff, soft bass, gentle kick drum, casual sarcastic vocals] I went to my room, Well, that's pretty rich. I yelled at my mom, And you act like a snitch. I said that you're dumb, You act like my twin. Now you're right beside her Like I never existed. I said I'm the problem, You don't give me shit. You told me my mother's Gone away on a trip. You dumped me again, Now you say we're just friends. Guess we're all friends 'Til the very end. [Short guitar fill, quiet whispered ad-libs] Isn't that funny? You think this is fun. You keep pointing fingers Like you're the only one. [Pre-Chorus] [Radio-filtered vocals, dreamy synth pads, guitar melody slowly building] Did you think of me The way I think of you? My mind's all janked, And it's all because of you. We'd be out together, Like we always said we'd do. Don't tell me that It won't last forever. [Radio static crackles] You said forever... Did you mean it, too? [Chorus] [Full drums, deep bass, catchy electric guitar riff, layered melodic vocals] Oh-ohh, I'm the ONE! Oh-ohhhh, I'm the ONE! Oh, wherever you go, I'm the only one! Oh-ohh, here I come! Oh-ohhhh, can't outrun! You can leave if you want, But you know what I've become. I'm the ONE! Yeah, I'm the ONE! [Post-Chorus] [Playful guitar melody, bouncy bass, chopped vocal effects, teasing delivery] La-la-la, you don't care. Funny how you still stare. Na-na-na, what's the joke? You said goodbye, but you never let go. Oh-oh-oh, here we go again. Enemies today, tomorrow friends. You can call me crazy, Call me what you want. (Deep whisper) I'm still the one. [Verse 2] [Relaxed half-time drums, dark guitar chords, warm bass, intimate vocals] You left me on read, Then you called me at two. Said you were bored, So I guess I would do. You talk like a saint, But you lie like a pro. You say that you're leaving, Then you never quite go. My room's getting smaller, The walls know my name. I delete all your messages, Then save them again. You say I'm dramatic, I say you're a mess. We both play the victim, Who cares who's the best? [Beat briefly pauses] Congratulations. We're both a disaster. [Pre-Chorus 2] [Glitchy radio effects, pulsing bass, layered harmonies, rising guitar melody] Did you think of me When the lights went blue? Did you hear my voice In the songs you knew? We could run forever, We could break in two. Don't tell me it's over When I'm still stuck on you. [Distorted radio voice] You said forever... Was that all untrue? [Chorus] [Full drums return, melodic electric guitars, layered vocals, stronger bass] Oh-ohh, I'm the ONE! Oh-ohhhh, I'm the ONE! Oh, wherever you go, I'm the only one! Oh-ohh, here I come! Oh-ohhhh, can't outrun! You can leave if you want, But you know what I've become. I'm the ONE! Yeah, I'm the ONE! [Bridge] [Drums cut out, soft fingerpicked guitar, atmospheric synth, low breathy vocals] Maybe I'm a little too much. Maybe I don't know when to shut up. Maybe every word I said Was a mess inside my head. But you don't get to write my ending. I'm so tired of pretending. You can keep your little crown. I'm the one who won't stay down. [Deep spoken vocals, followed by a rising guitar swell] You wanted silence? Here it is. You wanted distance? Take your wish. You wanted someone Who would always run? (Pause) Funny... I'm not the only one. [Final Chorus] [Explosive drums, thick bass, bright melodic guitar, layered harmonies, energetic vocals] Oh-ohh, I'm the ONE! Oh-ohhhh, I'm the ONE! Oh, wherever you go, I'll remember what I've done. Oh-ohh, here I come! Oh-ohhhh, new day, new sun! You can leave if you want, I don't need to be your one. I'm the ONE! Yeah, I'm the ONE! Oh-ohh, let it run! Oh-ohhhh, I'm not done! You can keep your goodbye, I'm still learning how to run. I'm the ONE! I'm my own ONE! [Outro] [Drums fade away, soft guitar returns, distant radio static, whispered vocals] You don't need me... That's what you said. Funny how your voice Still lives inside my head. Do you really think about me? [Long pause, one soft guitar note] Nah... Doesn't matter. I'm the one. (Quiet, sarcastic chuckle) Yeah... The only one. [Radio static fades into silence]
