I Was the One - Atrium

Where oh where could my baby be? There's no one here but me that could change Where oh where could my baby be? Maybe I was the one who sent her away Where oh where'd the grass ever go? I think back to when we're walking in the rain The feelings from within send the tides rolling in 'Cause maybe I was the one who sent her away And I will always be your diver as you will be my girl And every time I made you smile I wouldn't trade it for the world When you tell this great old story you start crying like a fool 'Cause maybe I was the one and you were too Where oh where has our love gone? The night I first fell deep into your eyes I could see the stars in the dark and with a heavy heart She told me I was the one who sent her away And I will always be your diver as you will be my girl And every time I made you smile I wouldn't trade it for the world When you tell this great old story you start crying like a fool 'Cause maybe I was the one and you were too Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh And I can you whisper all the words you told me last And I will keep your promise not to ever look back Maybe there's a time and a place to meet again Maybe I'll be the one from the water to ascend And I will always be your diver as you will be my girl And every time I made you smile I wouldn't trade it for the world When you tell our great old story you start crying like a fool 'Cause maybe I was the one and you were too Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I've been on the road so long The straight-and-narrow I've been on Is crooked as this smile that I fake And I need you like I need a drink Or a cigarette and some time to think About the choices that you and me make And I feel lonely And I'm so sorry And I remember the morning of Christmas Day I was still drunk and you were so afraid To end up with someone like me And then it all seemed to fall apart In a foreign land, ridin' in your car As you sang, "I still don't know what love means" And man, that hurt me Just like I hurt you And I have done some thinking and changing along the way And I wish that you could just see who I am today I know I'm a damn good man I know you did the best you can With the one I was then I never wanted all of this But oil and water, they never mix Until you light a match and turn it to a flame And there won't be another time around I had my chance and I shot it down Just a bird and a rifle to blame Man, I hate that song I play it all night long And I have been thinking and changing along the way And I wish that you could just see who I am today I know I'm a damn good man I know you did the best you can With the one I was then And I've learned from my mistakes The next one won't be afraid Of the one I was then

I was the one who taught her to kiss The way that she kisses you now And you know the way she touches your cheek Well, I taught her how I was the one who taught her to cry When she wants you under her spell The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind I taught her so well And then one day I had my love as perfect as could be She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried And it was all for me I'll never know who taught her to lie Now that it's over and done Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart? I was the one And then looking one day I had my love as perfect as could be She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried And it was all for me I'll never know who taught her to lie Now that it's over and done Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart? I was the one
