The One - Ryan O'Reilly

Fear is honest, fear is true

You once said I wasn’t scared of you

I wasn’t scared then of much at all

But if you’ve no fear of heights

Then you are bound to fall

So turn it up, or turn it off

Tell me the truth, I know I’m lost

Your disguise is paper thin

And once you’re out you’ll not get back in

I searched the frozen Fjords of Oslo

And through the bars of West Toronto

The broken glass of new born streets

I was looking for someone I could never meet

So take an eye

For an eye

Take those bastards by surprise

What you saw can’t be unseen

I finally worked out what you mean

How can I begin to tell you

How much damage you’ve done

How we’re here yet again

You can’t stop what doesn’t end

How I wish, how I wish

That you weren’t the one.

We set out on a hopeless lie

But only cowards wouldn’t try

The sound the fury and the water’s roar

Quickens the heart and picks you up off the floor

So take an eye

For an eye

Take those bastards by surprise

What you saw can’t be unseen

I finally worked out what you mean

How can I begin to tell you

How much damage you’ve done

How we’re here yet again

You can’t stop what doesn’t end

How I wish, how I wish

How can I begin to tell you

How much damage you’ve done

How I can’t let you go

And you won’t either though you know

That I wish, that I wish

That you weren’t the one.
