[Verse 1 - Female]
You said you wanted something real
Not just hands, but someone who feels
You got history you never show
I see the bruises that your pride still holds
You laugh it off, but your eyes look tired
Scroll through names, but your heart feels wired
You say love's a game you don't play twice
Then you call me late like I'm your vice
[Pre-Chorus - Female]
You pull me close just to push away
Say you can't stay, but you always stay
Every time you dial at 2 AM
I'm the first one, last one, don't pretend
[Chorus - Both]
I don't wanna be another almost
I don't wanna sit here in your phone like a ghost
If I'm the one you run to every time you break
Then say it with your chest, don't make me wait
If I'm the only one you call when it hurts this bad
Then I'm the only one you ever really had
I'm not a phase you can outgrow and be done
I'm not "one of them"
I'm the one
[Verse 2 - Male Rap]
Look
Yeah
You talk 'bout wounds, but you never seen mine
Raised on leaving first, that's a peace of mind
Every time I cared, they just pressed decline
So I learned how to dip ‘fore they redraw the line
But you
You different, you dig in the dark
Read every crack like a map to my heart
Got my hoodie, my habits, my worst day saved
Still you ride front seat when the road gets grave
I been dodging labels, I been changing names
Told myself I’m safer playing petty games
But when your name lights up and my chest goes wild
I’m a scared grown man, like a lost young child (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus - Male]
I pull you close ‘cause I’m terrified
Say I can’t stay, but I always lie
Every time I dial at 2 AM
You answer on the first ring, once again
[Chorus - Both]
I don't wanna keep you in the half-light
You don't wanna love me with your hands tied
If you're the one I run to every time I break
I gotta say it out loud, for my own sake
If you're the only one I call when it hurts this bad
You're the only one I ever really had
You’re not a phase I can outgrow and be done
You're not "one of them"
You're the one (yeah, you're the one)
[Bridge - Both]
[Strings swell, tempo pulls back slightly]
[Female]
Tell me, are we in or out?
No more maybe, no more doubt
[Male]
If I fall, will you still stay?
If you stay, I’ll change my ways
[Female]
Tired of circles, tired of almost
Tired of being what you want most
[Male]
Tired of running from a good thing, love
Tired of acting like you ain’t enough (enough)
[Chorus - Both]
I don't wanna be another almost
I don't wanna see you in my past like a ghost
If we’re the ones we run to every time we break
Then this is what forever’s gonna take
If we’re the only hearts that answer when it hurts this bad
Then we’re the only chance we’re ever gonna have
We’re not a phase we can outgrow and be done
We’re not "one of them"
We’re the one (oh)
We’re the one (yeah, we’re the one)
