Lyrics
The One
Jodie Leslie
Are you listening?
This one?s for you
For The One I never knew
Passed down through the ages
A bitter thorn
Kept you scarred, took your hope,
Then left you torn
But I saw it all with little eyes
And little arms that cared
I thought I could fix you
If I could just love you enough
It wasn?t fair
Stepping into time
25 years
I?m sitting here wishing I could fix you
If I could just cry enough tears
So are you gonna live your life
Thinking that it?s through
You say you?re too old
And no one wants you,
But I do
You say if you could do it again
You?d leave it all behind
Well your life isn?t through,
And that?s the truth
But no one can change your mind for you
Are you listening?
This one?s for you
For The One
I wish I knew
