How could You walk when You went down that dusty street
How could You speak when all Your friends checked out

How could You love after the great betrayal
How could You reach out when they nailed You down

True as true can be
That's what they say You are to me
When I'm so fake does Your heart ache
If I had been the one I would not have been that strong
If I had been the one
Yeah
I'd have been long gone

How could You hang on with Your mama crying
How could You keep on breathing in and out

How could You watch while Your whole world was dying
Did it all happen 'cause we let you down

True as true can be
That's what they say You are to me
When I'm so fake does Your heart ache
If I had been the one I would not have been that strong
If I had been the one
Yeah
I'd have been long gone

And all the things we think of eternal would come undone
All I have to say is when I'm praying I thank God I'm not the One

If I had been around

And all the things we think of eternal would come undone
All I have to say is when I'm praying I thank God I'm not the One
Thank God I'm not the One
Thank God I'm not the One
Thank God I'm not the One
Thank God I'm not the One
One
