You Don't Have To Be The One

lyrics

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THE ONE

I don't know if you could ever be the one who's turning a blind eye
Holding back searing tears
I don't know how you could ever be the one to take words for it
It would be an upside-down world

I'll never be that one
I can never end...
Please don't make this harder

You don't have to be the one pretending everything is fine
Keep faking smiles while ignoring lies
You don't have to be the one who's begging for another chance
Hold on secrets, look back and regret, 'cause after all...

Maybe this time you could ever be the one who's wasting his whole life
You're slowly losing your mind
But no one else could ever be the one who'll put its faith again
Curiosity kills in the end

I've never been that wrong before
Please don't give up

You don't have to be the one pretending everything is fine
Keep faking smiles while ignoring lies
You don't have to be the one who's begging for another chance
Hold on secrets, look back and reject them all

Nothing will ever be the same again
Whatever happened, how could I look you in the eyes

As I'll ever be
To be the one who could forget
Words are failing me
Sometimes it's better to do nothing at all
As I'll ever be
To be the one who could forgive
Now it's time to leave
It's now or never and it's better than nothing at all

You don't have to be the one pretending everything is fine
Keep faking smiles while ignoring lies
You don't have to be the one who's begging for another chance
Hold on secrets, look back and reject them all

Nothing will ever be the same again
Whatever happened, how could I look you in the eyes
Nothing will ever be the same again
I'd spend a lifetime waiting for the right time
But I know it will change nothing at all
