I Can Be the One


You are so beautiful and so smart,

I wish I could have your heart,

But you like someone else that isn't me,

I just have one thing I want you to see.

 

I could hold you even in your darkest times,

I could be their for you when the sun starts to rise,

I could take a bullet and still stand for you,

I could be the one if you want me to.

 

I could catch every single tear you shed,

I could bring my tortured soul back from the dead,

I could walk a thousand miles for you,

I could be the one if you want me to.

 

I could hold you up when you're feeling down,

I could lift you off of the cold ground,

I could be a better man for you,

I could be the one if you want me to.

 

I can't get over you no matter how much I've tried,

I wish you were here standing by my side,

But I know that you will never be,

And that is part of the tragedy.
