Enlightening charmer, sent from where
A Casanova, lovely glare
And I was chosen, I was there
The wells get deeper, more unfolds
And at the bottom, there she goes
But wells are endless, I've found more

Flowers candy flirty late nights
On the speed dial, that was you too
Dinner movie sweet heart kisses
He don't dance, but tangles with two
I thought you plus me divided me from him
But I discovered, many more and again again

And you don't know, you fill many spaces
And she don't know, she's one of many lies
And he don't know, how he stole many places
And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried
I would've been the one

I held the title, wore the crown
I was the trophy, while you ducked down
And she was cool with just fooling around
(Yes she was, yes she was, yes she was)
Now number four was there to ride
And five was crazy, his wild child
And when we're rocky he calls number nine

Flowers candy flirty late nights
On the speed dial, that was you too
Dinner movie sweet heart kisses
He don't dance, but tangles with two
I thought you plus me divided me from him
But I discovered, many more and more and again

And you don't know, you fill many spaces
And she don't know, she's one of many lies
And he don't know, how he steals many places
And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried
I would've been the one

I was the one, yes I was the one
And yes that was my name
Inked up on his arm
And if he loved me that much
And still did me wrong

You feeling sorry, but you are holding on

I was the one, yes I was the one
Key word is was, yes I was the one
I figured out he was empty on my own

He had to find the answer
In something or someone

And you don't know, you fill many spaces
And she don't know, she's one of many lies
And he don't know, he stole many places
And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried
I would've been the one

Do do do doo do do
I would've been the one
