You Were the One Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
I know things don't last forever
But I thought that you were true
I guess I've been mistaken
Cause our love is done and through
It hurts me
Cause I know I was true to you
And I'm sorry for whatever
I've done to you
[Chorus:]
Oo-oo-ooh, baby
You were the one for me
Baby, can't you see
You shouldn't have set me free
And oh
Why did you let me go
I thought our love could grow
You know I loved you so
You were the one
[Verse 2:]
I don't know why you left me
All I know is that you're gone
I wish I could change your feelings
But I guess my life goes on
I know things don't last forever
But I thought that you were true
I guess I've been mistaken
Cause our love is done and through
It hurts me
Cause I know I was true to you
And I'm sorry for whatever
I've done to you
[Chorus:]
Oo-oo-ooh, baby
You were the one for me
Baby, can't you see
You shouldn't have set me free
And oh
Why did you let me go
I thought our love could grow
You know I loved you so
You were the one
[Verse 2:]
I don't know why you left me
All I know is that you're gone
I wish I could change your feelings
But I guess my life goes on
It hurts me
Cause I thought
You'd always be there
But what I see
You really didn't care
Love is so unfair
'Cause I thought
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
I know it's hard for you to see
How much you meant to me
And if it's really meant to be
Then you'll come back
If loving you is still a possibility
When you return
I'll be there for you
Cause in my heart
I'll always love you
[Repeat Chorus:]
I'm gonna miss you, baby
I know you're gonna miss me too
'Cause you know you were the one
And you will always be the one for me
Cause I thought
You'd always be there
But what I see
You really didn't care
Love is so unfair
'Cause I thought
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
I know it's hard for you to see
How much you meant to me
And if it's really meant to be
Then you'll come back
If loving you is still a possibility
When you return
I'll be there for you
Cause in my heart
I'll always love you
[Repeat Chorus:]
I'm gonna miss you, baby
I know you're gonna miss me too
'Cause you know you were the one
And you will always be the one for me
